Bernado et al,
If one lives in Karnataka and wants to be a Kanadigan, so be it, no one
should stop him.
Imagine if Bangalore and Mumbai closed their borders for Goans, who
will suffer? My two cousins currently working in Bangalore as software
engineers would not get the job they like. Imagine if UK and US did the
same.
But I do agree that Goan culture should be maintained and Konkani is
what will keep us united. It is a now a complex question on how to keep
Goan identity especially when selfish corrupt politicians the Goan
Catholics elect, encourage outsiders (blue collared workers) to get
registered for their vote bank which mostly goes to Congress. Example:
Margao Monte which is seeing influx of immigrant Muslim blue collared
voters for the last 20 years. Why do the politicians want these people
(who are mostly illiterate and will care less to vote) to get
registered for elections? I feel the real danger to Goa is from flood
of blue collared immigrants who can change the state demographic
conditions. Unfortunately Goa needs them for its development. Congress
knows that they will get the Catholic & Muslim vote bank even if they
put a dummy or dead person on the ticket. Why can't they put honest
trustworthy people. Why can't people force them to do it?
Regards,
Carlos
