To all Other Law educated True Goans of all over the world,
You'll know the truth about illegal annexation of Goa in 1961 and Yet Being
educated in law have choosen to remain silence for so long ?!! . I am still at
loss to understand why a educated person with degrees in Law would remain
silent to this illegal Unlawfull acts of Indian Govt, when all indian Govt
wanted was to make Goa as a Colony for its uncontrolled evil population ,
loot and destroy goa from the face of the earth slowly as years goes by.
But the question is :- Are these Law educated Goans are real Patriotic Goans
with Noble heart or are they born cowards ?!!!
Any way i request to join us .....or atleast do something about it to raise
the issue of Illegal annexation since you all are a Capable and got duty
towards True God and True Goa .
Than perhaps Your name( like Dr Jack Sequire) will shine forever on this earth
or at least in Goan History even after death for standing up against mighty
Evil India as King David stood against Goliath( 1 samuel
40-54) ............trusting in True Gods Help in the end .........to defeat the
mighty Goliath , which most Israelites thought was
IMPOSSIBLE......................not knowing that with God all things are
possible when a willing heart is ready to stand for the truth without fear and
Complete trust in True living God.
In true living God we trust and in his Holy Name( Jesus Christ) we put our
Hope [ Matthew 12:21]......that we true Goans will be helped by Gods choosen
people and nations...... to be independent Country.
Kind regards,
M.Britto

>We all know the issues that concern our fellow Goans living in other states
>across India and overseas. Over the years there have been so many Goan
>Conventions that have deliberated thread bare issues concerning Goa and
>related to Non-Resident Goans. There has been enough of talking and posturing.
>What we now need is some action on the part of the government to redress the
>concerns and grievances of Goans living outside Goa.
>
>After years of service outside Goa or abroad many Non Resident Goans (NRG)
>long to settle in the land of their birth. But for many reasons they get
>disheartened and give up. Many Goans feel the urge to contribute towards
>shaping the future of Goa but the authorities must encourage them to return
>and invest their skills and savings in the land of their roots. But the high
>level of corruption in Goa is something every NRG detests. So a war on
>corruption by the Government of Goa could be the starting point in laying the
>red carpet for NRGs.
>
>In March 2006 Mr. Eduardo Faleiro got himself appointed as Goa’s Commissioner
>for NRI Affairs with cabinet status. Why was there a need to drain the State
>exchequer with a cabinet status? By virtue of his cabinet status Mr. Faleiro
>now has 11 staff at his disposal. These include four peons and a driver who
>work at his residence in Raia. The
>Government of Goa is also paying the salary of one Mr. Amit Sharma who is Mr.
>Faleiro’s clerk based at Delhi. Besides the 11 staff that are employed by Mr.
>Faleiro, the Director of NRI Affairs, Mr. Ulhas Kamat (a post officially yet
>not created) and his two clerks are also being paid by the State treasury.
>There is no doubt that Goa needs a NRG (non-resident Goan) cell to act as an
>interface to resolve the grievances of the NRG’s across the world. An
>efficient Director with
>two or three dynamic and pro-active staff is all that was needed.
>
>The 2007 Goan Convention organized by Mr. Eduardo Faleiro at a 5 star hotel at
>Dona Paula cost the tax year almost Rs 40 lakhs. As a registered delegate at
>that Convention I did attempt to raise the issue of the Regional plan and
>illegal mining. Mr. Faleiro however summoned the police and asked me to leave
>which I did after seeking a refund of the delegate fee I had paid. I felt that
>the convention needed to deliberate the anti-Goa, anti-people and an
>anti-environment Regional Plan. I was of the opinion that the non resident
>Goans should be concerned about the destruction of the fragile ecosystem in the
>green belt surrounding our urban areas that was slowly turning into a concrete
>jungle. It was my concern that the new Regional Plan would open the floodgates
>of uncontrolled migration into Goa from the rest of India and that Goans would
>literally end up a dying breed. But Mr. Faleiro acted very high-handedly and
>gagged any further debate.
>
>Mr. Eduardo Faleiro has held Goan Conventions in Lisbon, Toronto, Oman, Kuwait
>and this year the feast was at London. Mr. Faleiro owes us an explanation as
>to what concrete benefit these State sponsored conventions have yielded
>besides being an astronomical burden to the Goan taxpayer.
>
>It is time the Goa government realizes that some concrete positive action and
>not more extravagant Goan conventions is the need of the hour. There is no
>point draining the state exchequer by way of these farcical conventions with
>no clear agenda and only merry making at public cost. Whether the bill is
>footed by the State, Central Government or the High Commissions overseas, it
>all takes a toll on the tax payer. Goa cannot afford this hospitality. These
>State-sponsored fiestas by way of Goan Conventions cannot continue forever.
>There is no need to hold these annual conclaves. That money needs to be spent
>to make Goa a better place to live in. The modern NRGs are far more
>professional, skilled, articulate, motivated, caring and affluent than the
>previous generation. They have an empathy towards Goa and regard it more than
>just another holiday
>destination. These sentiments have to be tapped by the Government with the aim
>of seeking mutual benefit. All too often the Government is out to exploit and
>fleece them. The bureaucratic processes endemic to Indian methodology puts off
>many Non Residents from investing locally.
>
>NRG’s also feel that the prospects of a good education in Goa for their
>children are bleak and that is something the Government ought to focus on.
>Good hospitals and quality professional educational institutions are something
>Goa so dearly needs. Overall, if Goa’s infrastructure is improved this will
>motivate many NRGs to come back and set up shop in the place that is so dear
>to them. But like in other States of India, politicians have their fingers in
>every pie, and nothing runs professionally or free from political
>interference.
>In recent years many Goan politicians have made overseas trips, ostensibly to
>study projects abroad. It was expected that they would bring home some ideas
>to improve things here. Unfortunately, these trips at the taxpayer expense are
>in reality shopping and sightseeing junkets for our ever so greedy
>politicians. Who can blame the NRGs from despising our politicians after
>witnessing them in action abroad?
>
>There are many former politicians in Goa who just can’s stop living at the
>State expense. Mr. Eduardo Faleiro is one of them. They just scramble for a
>position so that they can enjoy the perks and privileges that come with the
>job. It is very evident that the affairs at the office of the NRI Commissioner
>lack accountability and transparency. It is always Eduardo Faleiro’s way ‘or
>the Highway’. So many good officers have refused to work under him. Perhaps
>the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) should scrutinize the
>affairs of the NRI cell over the last five years.
>
>I can only sympathise with Goa’s Aam Aadmi. It is an irony that Goa is hosting
>India’s highest paid Advocate General Mr. Subodh Kantak and also has an NRI
>Commissioner whose expenses over the last five years has caused a huge debt to
>the public exchequer.
