Expat-Goans are NOT the issue in the current situation and Frederick knows it but he likes to confuse the issue to further his thesis "the migrant is the victim and the Goan is the victimizer". Soon we will be told expat-Goans are victimizers too!
Goan mega-projects are being built under dubious legal provisions, likely all of them have some illegality associated with them. Rich migrant builders use poor migrant workers to build illegal structures to market to foreign nationals and non-Goans (Bombay-wallahs, Delhi-wallahs, NRIs). That is a major portion of the current "development" of Goa. No law and order. In fact, when is the last time one saw a sentence with law and order and migrant in it. When Goans complain about the lack of law and order, some nonsense about caste, communal elites is thrown into the argument to confuse the issue along with "the migrant is the victim and the Goan is the victimizer". Which is not to write that Goans are innocent, since Goan politicians and the system have facilitated the illegalities of mega=projects in Goa.
