Often I hear these statements made on goanet, mostly by Goans who have left Goa...
I for one having left Goa at the age of 17 but still make it Goa every year. I am now working in the gulf and partially settled in Mumbai. So far I have not sold of my house or property. What we see happening now about the so called 'Bhaile's" (outsiders) and politicians is not new..it was there 40-50 years ago... and for all this we ourselves have to be blamed.
