Here are my replies to the points raised by you
Dear Mr. Bhatcar,
Wonder if there is a centre in Goa for training Goans in the IAS exams, but if one reads the Competition success a book on how students prepare themselves, for this exam,one can get the picture of this IAS, what one must study , the objective papers and many other papers, there must be Goans who would like to pursue their studies in IAS but where is the guidance? it is very easy to question as to how many goans tried the IAS exam's?But at the same time one should also question, can we set up a centre in Goa for this exam?
IAS/IFS/IPS entrance exams are pretty intense and require a fair amount of committment from individuals. One requires a basic Bachelor's degree, before going through a process of preliminary exams, Main exams plus interviews. Potential candidates to these exams require indepth knowledge of History, Civics, Public Administration, General Knowledge. Unless there is fair amount of interest from Goans, it will not make any business sense for anybody to start an institute to train for IAS preparatory exams. It is going to cost every potential candidate, a lot of money to get there. Lots of Goans have entered IITs either on their own or by attending Aggarwal classes in Bombay or correspondence courses. I am sure that a really dedicated Goan, interested in IAS/IPS/ IFS will go that route to achieve his goals.
I think that Goans are more apt at pursuing studies in Medicine, Engineering, Pharmacy, Architecture or Law. Government service is not looked at favourably.
There are a lot of books out there, if one is interested.
Whether one may like it or not, GOANS are a special breed and it is an accepted fact atleast in the african countries , the rest of the countries i do not know.
From my observations, many on Goanet are in the habit
of putting down non-Goans or 'Indians'. Having interacted with a lot of Indians and people from many countries of the world, I must say that there is no distinguishing feature that should warrant a tag of we, Goans, being superior to others in anyway!
Again i would like to mention, on Goans holding influential positions overseas, who can establish whether the said Goans hold these key positions in Government offices or either they are businessmen or on work permit, or employed by some multinational firms, or are now citizens.
Your statement above is pretty confusing. Goans reside in a lot of countries around the world. My question was, whether it would be okay to discriminate against us, just because we are not from that part of the world, just as we Goans constantly look down upon 'Indians' or 'Outsiders'.
Granted that Goa is a bit different from the rest of India due to the Portuguese influence, but that in no way makes us Superior!!
