non-Goans
and secondly by purchasing Goan lands by us only.

diaspora.
Although it would be wonderful to entertain the idea, that the Goan diaspora
could change the current trend, it will be just an elusive dream. We just
enjoy shooting the breeze (pardon the expression) on Goanet, from
cyberspace. But are we really serious that Goans in Goa will stop selling
their lands to non-Goans, while waiting with great expectations for
prospective Goan diaspora (permanently settled abroad) to buy land in Goa,
at the pace and prices non-Goans are enticing our local Goans?
We must come to terms with the reality that those who left Goa are (mostly)
gone for good, and those that have made up their minds now will leave as
well. It is up to Goans who live in Goa to fend for themselves and look
after their own interests and homeland, and the reality lies therein.
