Who is to be blamed?Aren't we Goans to be blamed. Aren't we Goans selling our ancestral homes, lands to 'outsiders' as we call Punjabis, Bengalis, Haryanvis, etc. Why aren't we selling our homes to other fellow goans. I tell you why, its because we Goans cannot afford to buy our own land from fellow goans. The price is too high. At a dinner a month ago, a goan lady told me 'If I have a property to sell, a goan gives me 30 lakhs, but a Punjabi gives me 50 lakhs why will I sell it to a Goan? I personally know lots of Goans who have sold their ancestral property to either North Indians or foreigners. We sold our ancestral proprty in Moira to an American married to an Indian, way back in 1994. We Goans are always blaming ousiders, we ourselves are to be blamed for what is happening to Goa.
