Arwin, What do you make of expat Goan communities getting entry into
the political world where they stay? Also, where do you get your

Migrants in Goa
A migrant worker moving into Goa is the easy punching bag for Goans
for the ills plaguing Goa. Frederick Noranha's article was a welcome
reminder to all. Here are two articles I wrote about migrants who
moved into Goa in search of livelihood and how their lives have
