Sebastian's remarks as reported in Herald: "It is ironical that people of Goa has to brace up for anti-colonial struggle in the 50th year of Goa liberation. Goa liberation has not liberated the people of Goa but has given license to plunder to the local elites. In a way Goa has superficial liberation with core being 500 years of Colonial imprints', he said, adding that exploitation has been going in Goa through mining, tourism, industry, real estate and labour.

comments: This is the crux of Goa's problem. Colonialism. But knowing all this, we Goans choose to tackle just the symptoms of a much deep-rooted malady. Sorry to say this, the anti-colonial struggle will not even be possible in the 51st year as long as activism is driven by donor markets and social entrepreneurship culture. -Soter _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ tambdimati: the Goa review is a community blog of original _/ art, writing, music, news and commentary from and about the _/ smallest state in the subcontinent. check out the newest _/ member of the Goanet family daily at _/ http://www.tambdimati.com. _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
