In 1961, India invaded Goa by giving a lot of assurances to the International
Community and false promises to Goa/Goans that their identity would be
preserved. What we see now is (A) the systematic looting of Goa's rich mineral

It appears that Raheja is still keen to destroy Carmona with its mega

At the recent Goa Elections, most of the in-competent Anti Goan MLA's got
elected due to slum politics via imported and illegally pampered vote-banks.
Classic example is that Goa's worst performing and now ex-Chief Minister
