I am surprised that other than Pamela's article on the Portuguese leader's visit to Goa, there were no other posts on this topic on Goanet from native Goans.
The chronic complainers of Goa and Goans loosing their identity (read Indo-Portuguese identity) were silent - likely they were all in a "gem-yetha" mode (feeling sleepy):=)) Of course the posts for some of the chronic complainers would have to be a 180 degree turn. Yet it may not be surprising. There was very little to no excitement about BRICS meeting in Goa that brought umpteen heads of states to Goa in addition to the Big Five. Priceless and free publicity for Goa in Portugal and in Europe. Most other international and national tourist destinations would spend millions for this kind of publicity. Regards, GL
