When I mean neighbour it is the countries bordering our motherland. For decades Goa is undersiege from the ghantis surrounding us. They are dumping their poverty on us but now also trying to block the source of our Mandovi.
The condition of Goa is such that one would say in Concani 'morna cho ughot pauloh'. I remember in the seventies the ghanti neigbour conducted an 'apagao' meaning a black out after Goans conducted a anti-ghanti protest. The xhapotkar freedom fighters and their kin have not forseen these terrible conditions instead one daily reads their anti-portuguese bile conducted from their maicho gho ivory towers in North America.
