As long as the arabs have the money (oil)...Goans will have the time!

Quoting from a bank newsletter
Recent studies by world bank estimate that the expatriate remittance to
India is  around
US $ 21.7 billion thus making it the highest in the world, ahead of China n
Mexico and this
comes mostly from Indians working in the Gulf Region where an estimated 4
million work.

In Goa, after tourism the highest revenue comes from the gulfies n shippies.
They invest their funds in Goa, as they are not able to invest in the place
they work.

Dear [EMAIL PROTECTED],

On this topic, you are wrong on all counts; you are being deliberately 
deceitful, in your nonsensical arguments, and also quite ignorant of the 
real reasons for the opposition to MOPA.


Please realise that you are in fact contradicting yourself, in this piece of 
nonsense that you are trying to force down some 'gullible people'. The 
readers are an intelligent lot and cannot be taken lightly.


I advise that you should first learn how to get your 'real name' into the 
'from' field, in your postings to goanet; and then also post your 
geographical address as required by 'goanet rules'. OK?

I would think the cyber-Goans would follow the MOPA story with more factual 
information than emotion or vested interest.

I agree that Goa needs a lot of local projects.
Local projects are paid for by local revenues (taxes).
Because of different funding sources, local projects (roads, electricity, 
hospitals and schools built by local taxes) should not / will not be denied 
or delayed because of MOPA.


The MOPA Airport is being PAID FOR BY the Central Government.
When Delhi spends an estimated 100-600 crore rupees, that is money 
disbursed in Goan economy GENERATING LOCAL TAXES.
That money sooner or later will be available to build many local projects, 
that we all want.
MOPA is also jobs for Goans (building and maintenance) who will then be 
less dependent on foreigners or on migration.

How long will Goans be able to move to the Mid-East in search of jobs?
Goans going beyond the Middle East now is nearly ended except perhaps to 
Portugal.


Finally many Goans complain that MOPA / North Goa will be a mere transit 
and to benefit South Maharastra.  That's the precise benefit.
After all Goa flourished in the 15th to the 17th century because it was a 
transit point for trade (and pilgrims to Mecca) between India and the rest 
of the world.  This bonanza ended with Dutch and British blockade. After 
that Portugal as a trading power declined.  Let's learn from Goan history, 
including its two golden periods.
