There is talk about boycotting liberation day celebrations. To acheive what? How many goans go for the liberation day parade or organise something to commmorate the event? It is too late to brood over what happened in 1961.
We need to be concerned about how to bring sense in the goan of today with rhetoric from the confines of his AC room and laptop? Political revolutions are not brought about by keeping tabs on cow slaughter, garbage dumping and publicity stunts on TVs. Trying to blackmail congress by threatening to vote BJP is no solution either. All are the same. We have tried it in 1999 and seen the results. Only that it makes someone new richer than the regulars. Important is to understand the underworld of politics and its operation which cannot be understood by flying tours. People are not able to control their Panchayat politics, how can they control Goa? 54% Indians are said to have admitted giving a bribe at some point in time. This speaks a lot. This is important. It will be the same people screaming 'Save Goa' but doing just the opposite in their backyards. Some months ago it was publicised that mining in Goa will come to a standstill after Jairam Ramesh's intervention due to efforts of some activists. What happened? Has it? -soter
