How many Goans dont want to sell their land ? Unless, Goans --- and many are living not even a hand-to-mouth existence --- are given jobs or work hard or find a way of making a good living in an alternate fashion, they will continue to sell their land to the highest bidder. The problem of creating jobs is a difficult one. It also means Goans will have to confront some hard truths like give up their susegaad lifestyle. So, it looks to me it is better to create a romantized notion and live in a delusional world, as is done by this writer. samir
