But I don't really want to blame them because poverty is still hovering over the houses of most Goans.And the political leaders know that and they take advantage of that. Yes goans are not thinking about the future. They have to be reminded that if now the leaders can buy their votes then why not sell Goa to the foreigners. Goa is a piece of land which has departed from foreign land and Goans are foreigners; I say this because we see more foreigners and less Goans in Goa.It reminds me of the portuguese times. It looks like Goa has not yet achieved independence. I hope God in some way blesses Goa thinking that it is the same heaven He had created for men at first. THANK YOU. MELISSA PINTO

An online tribute http://aquinobraganca.wordpress.com/ (includes many historical references, some photographs and documents) An extremely well thought out and excellent essay. It gives a clear understanding on the socila implications of what are the traps of modernity and how it works to the advantage of the drawing room class in our society forgetting the escape modes that the so called 'poor' need to resort to thus giving rise to so called 'satanic'figures that the Monserates and Alemos are made out to be who exploit the opportunity to expinge their personal reputations which had kept them subservient to the snobbery of the again so called 'elite' classes. I have as an 'outsider' watched the political and social scenes of Goa and what Jason has written does make a lot of no all sense. Anita mathew.
