GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE AND GOA: QUESTIONS FROM A VILLAGE CALLED MOIRA
Nazar da Silva is making very important point here, not only the struggle
against petroleum company BPCL in Moira prompted by the archaic law
Petroleum Act,1934 but also the the open and blatant bulldozing of all the
democratic norms in Toto. In fact lots of our laws in India were formulated
by British colonial administration and they have remained as they were.
Petroleum Act, 1934 is one more example on the same. This law touches upon
the lifeline of the global economy: Petroleum, and the inheritors of the
nation in 1947 in their wisdom continued them unaltered. The is easy to
decipher: the pact with the to be inheritors were in no mood to disturb the
the dictatorial laws and democratize the structure including the economic
structure in any way.
So in a way Nazar and People of Moira in Goa are beginning to address the
unfinished agenda of the decolonization process that began in 1947. They
deserve support from each one of us concerned about Democracy and anti -
imperialist struggles world wide I invite you for a discussion and debate on
this theme which may lead to clarity and action in Moira and elsewhere.
Sebastian Rodrigues,
New Delhi.
