If we are continually creating inequality in our society by the absurdity of our laws and actions, then we cannot suddenly expect an equal and just society. How many times have flats been rented, never to be seen again. Even the so-called 11 month contract is hardly enforceable in the state of lawlessness that currently abounds. == jc's response I remember the story which my friend Gajanan Sardessai (ex AIR) told me. He had allowed a chap from Kerala to stay in one room of his house for a few months so that he could settle in Goa and find his own place. That was some years ago. Wonder if Sunanda ever managed to get the chap out. I submit that this has nothing to do with the mundkar act. In the Mundkar Act (thank you Tai ...Thank you for nothing) land titles were taken away from owners and handed over (a la Zimbabwe and Cuba) to those who worked on the land BUT only after the MINES were excluded from this provision. Interesting stuff from the MGP (now BJP/Congress) And we are wondering why all this is happening now? Here are some questions to think about: 1: WHO owns the title to Dabolim Airport? 2: Who owns the title to the former Goa Medical College Hospital in Panjim 3: Who owns the title to the Old Goa churches and Mangeshi/Shantadurga temples? 4: Are the persons making decisions on the above properties - holders of the title? 5: Why was the Communidade system dismantled by Gen Candeth? I'd say this: Once we twist the laws to suit our political convenience - we should not be too upset at the chaos which follows. Chaps in certain 'western' places are finding that out ...and acting surprised! just my view jc http://www.colaco.net/1/GoaRentingOutNightmare.htm
