I know of Goan real estate brokers who are making brisk sales of Goan
lands to outsiders from Noida and Gujarat on grounds that either Goans
cannot afford to buy lands at the prices offered by outsiders or Goans
do not make prompt payments. When I tell them that, with such activity,
Goans will soon cease to have a majority in the Goa legfislative
assembly, they are most unconcerned. Money is their God. Goan MP in the
Rajya Sabha, Shantaram Laxman Naik, had promised that he would move the
Government of India to declare Goa a protected state like the North
Eastern states. What is the progress on that front?

On the way back to Panjim this morning from an early photo shoot
in Loutolim, I saw a Goan farmer selling fresh vegetables by the
roadside in Agacaim.
