Sir,
Kindly publish the following matter in your esteemed paper.
Ami Goemkar
A niz goemkar is goemkar first and then he is a Hindu,Catholic or a Muslim.We
always lived together and will live together although some
selfish,jealous,religious fanatics have tried their level best to erect a wall
of hatred among us.At no cost a niz goemkar can be a religious fanatic cause
niz goemkars believe in the religion of humanity.Come to Cuncolim during
Sontreo festival and you will witness how the catholics and Muslims dance to
the tune of Sontreo-music led by catholic local musicians,it is a tradition and
has been going on since centuries.The Hindu community makes it a point to visit
the Our Lady of Health Church on the 2nd of February to pay their respect for
Saude-Saibinn.Last but not the least, one would find more catholics and Hindus
than their Muslim brothers at the Urus at Adnen,Balli to enjoy the Qawali
session.When the Rakhindhar station at Cuncolim was desecrated,we knew that
some fanatics purposely wants to disturb the peace
in the historic village for personal gains.Goa is a place for goemkars and not
for organizations like RSS,Ram Sena or Sanathan.
The one time very beautiful state of Goa was once known for Sun,Sand,fun and
fenni is slowly turning into a state known for day-light dacoities,murders and
all sort of Crimes.In the history of Goa,we never had a major law and order
problems but unfortunately some fanatics with no goan blood in them created
riots at Curchorem and recently a blast at Margao.First,the past and the
present politicians in power raped the natural beauty of Goa and now some
fanatics trying to rob the peace of goemkars.
Days are gone when goemkars dined and danced throughout the night,nobody got
disturbed those days cause Goa was of goemkars.Now we have to go by the time
restrictions.Things have become tough for niz goemkars.The sun has suddenly
turned to be very hot,lost our green fields to builders,the sand on the beach
has turned it's color to a odd one and fun has got a restriction.River Princess
is almost at the coast,the past and the present governments just watching
it,thus proving it's competency.These elected people in power have been very
good and fast in passing bills to save the illegalities of the hotels belonging
to the rich and when it comes to the common people they turn out to be dead.
Elected people in power had plans to sell Goa for all in the name of Regional
plan 2011 but they were caught and now some fanatics are planning to disturb
the communal harmony of our beloved Goa.Let us pass a loud and clear message
saying,we goans live as goemkars in Goa and no power in the world will prevail
over the communal harmony of Goa.This place is for decent fun loving people and
we don't have have place for fanatics known for fanatical acts.
