Subject - Opinion Poll. 1967 was a historical year for Goa, when Goans resolved to preserve their identity, via the opinion poll. Today, Goa is facing threats which threatens to wipe out the latter achievement and the efforts of those who fought for our identity in 1967. If the current rate on migration & land sales are not controlled, Goa will no longer be with Goans.
The Congress Government clearly intends to Globalise Goa; and is conveniently ignoring the fact that we can be Global, with a local perspective; as being done in other globalised communities around the world. I suspect that they don't want to upset their High Command in Delhi; and prefer to ignore the people who they are supposed to represent/support in the first place. It is now or never for Goa. Goans are rising and I request more to join the cause; particularly the non-residents in whatever way they can. Arwin Mesquita, Abu Dhabi.
