I left my home seven years ago and every visit back makes me realize how sad it truly is. Goa is slowly disapearing for goans. My father was killed by a drunk driver from karnataka two years ago. The driver somehow was released for the colva station and can not be found. Some of the properties we own are now in the courts as outsiders are doing their best to steal them. The panchyat have even helped them to falsify documents as if somehow after over three generations of ownership can just be erased as long as you fill someones pockets with money. But I am not the only Goan who faces thes problems. My freind Edgar Goes had his passaport stolen and instead of getting help from the Indian embassy he got harrassed. The clerk even had the nerve to say he was not a true Indian because of his hindi.He had to beg and plead for help from them as in Saudi one must have proper paperwork to even leave or face being put in prison. Maybe we as goans should question the goverments true belief of a Goan. We give more money to the centeral goverment than what they give. We pay for everything electricy, phone, etc. In margao we have people living in government housing given everything for free. Why are we treated like secound class citizens even by our own people.
