My answer is as follows: I would sell the land if I am convinced that the Muslim builder is a honest law abiding citizen and is not some tablighi fanatic with a dubious source of funding.. ofcourse such a decision would be made solely on my impression of him and not on some investigation by any agency it would also depend on how much urgency there is for me to sell the land That being said It would definitely be hypocritical of me to sell my land to him and then rail and rant against others who do the same . Unless we all create economic incentive for the private landowners we can not simply expect them not to sell it to anyone who pays the best price as long as the deal is legal We see here on goanet people sitting in canada Uk and USa shout Viva goa at the drop of the hat but it is the englishmen who love Goa more because they are willing to invest hard cash in there... like fred says the definition of goan needs to be fixed and probably as time passes this definition will encompass people who have bought land in goa not whose ancestors happened to be goan by chance.
