Message-ID: <255888.78362...@web34204.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Even a kid knows that citizenship is the only thing that decides political rights in a country. These guys must have real idiotic level IQ to think that they can make any political difference in any country leave alone India without having its citizenship. In fact, countries such as US are even stricter; no person not born in the US can be US President. India is much more liberal and tolerant in that respect. But these guys want to take things to far. One kick where it hurts will straighten these guys. (After all one lathi 40 years back -- and our Josebab still remembers it well.) After all, in the past they have not shown any capability of perseverence or sticking on when things go tough. They have always taken the easy and opportunistic way. regards, Samir PS: As to those shouting about underwears, lick them properly and clean them and then wear them over your head. After all, you are good at licking all kinds of things. Gabriel, hope you are alive in Australia. Talk about your Goan-hood in public and a knife may come at your throat. So, much for your home country. $$$$$$$@@@@@$$$$$$$$ Our friend Samir has really lost it now, and God only knows where his next outburst will be directed! Let me make one thing clear: I don't think any of the non resident Goans have plans to take over governance of Goa or India. There are enough learned and capable people among the 'resident' Goans who can do the honours. The only worry for Samir in his quest to become the President of India is that he wont find any resident Goans backing him. And now even the NRG's who have backed him in the past, will have their doubts. I just cannot understand why Samir has to be so rude. All the NRG's know very well that if at all anything is to be done for Goa, it is the resident Goans who have to do it. As far as I know, Rajan is tirelessly working at helping the resident Goans highlight issues he thinks important. And just because he happens not to be a resident, that should not preclude him doing what he wants to do. Maybe it would be a good idea if more resident Goans woke up to the reality of what is happening in Goa and the direction it is heading, and did something positive about it. Please do no stop someone whose heart cries for his motherland. Someone who is honest about it, and is working the best that he can in his circumstances, without hoping for a reward. Instead, join hands with him and others who are like minded. It will not hurt you to do so. Sometimes, I just wonder if it is pure jealousy on Samir's part that makes him react the way he does. Jealousy because he cannot do or achieve what Rajan and others are managing to do! >From his message, it appears that Samir has had a rather violent upbringing. An upbringing involving a lot of kicks and lathis on his poor back! Sadly, I cannot understand how Samir thinks that kicks and lathis will straighten others, when the treatment did not work on him in the first place. Samir ends his message with an interesting post script. I think Samir has voiced his personal experience with regard to the use of underwear, and now imagines that everyone else has the same filthy habit that he has. Gabriel is very much alive and kicking here in Melbourne. And he is definitely in no danger of having knives in his throat. Samir on the other hand has to constantly watch his own back in Bengaluru. The media in India has been rife with news of 'rascist' violence against Indians in Melbourne. What they fail to mention is how the so called victims behave so as to attract the treatment they get. There are thousands of Goans here in Victoria, living in peace and tranquillity. And not one Goan has been attacked so far. Does any one wonder why? Goans are respected and accepted for a reason, a reason I don't have to elaborate upon. Same is not the case with many young north Indian people who come here and then try to make Melbourne another mini India. When one goes to another country, one has to respect the customs and laws of that place. Violence is prevalent in every nation, including India. And who can deny that there have not been cases of foreigners killed in India? Recently the Scarlett case made headlines in the Indian newspapers. What was our friend Samir doing then? Finally, I would like Samir to know that non resident Goans are not relaxing and enjoying life in the place they have settled. They work very hard to enjoy the comforts they get. Life is not easy anywhere in the world. In fact I can say that life is definitely easy in Goa or India where people can afford to have servants in their homes to do their work! NRG's on the other hand have no servants. They do their 8 hour stints or more in some cases, and then they have to do their own house work. And they are not complaining about it, for they do have their just rewards. Importantly, they have made a choice to live the life they live, and accept the consequences, without complaints. No NRG has 'always taken the easy and opportunistic way' as claimed by Samir. As far as the NRG's go, Goa is their homeland, and they have their hearts in the right place. About Samir, well, I do have my doubts. Viva Goa, Viva Goenkars. True Goans, wherever they may be will always have Goa in their hearts. Salus Correia Ps: I have no claims about the level of my IQ, but when so called educated people write so poorly as Samir does, then I don't think he can have any claim on a good IQ.
