To Goanet -
Ha ha ha. It must be that time of month when Comrade Vidyadhar Gadgil
flushes out all the accumulated debris. Let me translate Comradespeak for
you, my dimwitted fellow Goans.
All ye Goans, feel guilty, very guilty. For you have sinned by exploiting
those poor ghatis, Dalits, and above all, the salt of the earth,
practitioners of the Religion of Peace, the ghati muslims. Repent O Goans,
you who have abducted these innocent human beings from their El Paradisos in
Karnataka, AP, Orissa, Bihar, UP and Jharkhand, and condemned them to a life
of indentured labour in your greedy, capitalistic haven.
Goans, drive not on your roads, live not in your homes, dump not in your
pots, breathe not your next breath without first sparing a thought for the
backbreaking lives of the poor ghati labourers you have exploited and
sacrificed at the altar of development, for your own selfish ends.
Goemkaars, protest not henceforth when the ghati defecates on your
pavements. For he has earned enough shit interest on your shit capital.
Whine not when the ghati pees in your front yard. Think of it as organic
manure for the roses you, nay, he - has planted for you. Fret not when the
ghati snatches your purse or your gold chain at the Old Goa festa. For you
have stolen much more from him. Be not concerned when the ghati turns your
cities, towns & villages into filthy favelas. It is payback time for the
good life you have enjoyed all these years at his expense.
Ye Goan sinners all, heed the cackling of the faithful Marxist geese, and
feel guilty, very guilty. Therein lies your salvation.
Warm regards,
r
