I'm sure many Catholics in Goa spoke (or still speak) as contemptuously of
Hindus, or "upper" castes of "lower" castes, men about women, etc. At the
end of the day, this is a lot of bias, bile, and hate-speech against the
"Other". We can always compare what we see as the negatives in someone else
with the perceived positives we think that we have a monopoly over.
More importantly, I think we're missing out crucial questions about luxury
and other 'investments' in today's Goa. I'm therefore eager not to get
derailed off the topic due to invectives of a personal kind. Do we know how
many hotels along the Goa coast are owned by politicians from other states?
How many Goa politicians own ventures-we're-willing-to-lose-money-on in
other states? FN
