On eve of the so called liberation of Goa, Chief Minister Digambar Kamat finally spoke the truth when he said land is the root cause of all the problems, both political and apolitical in Goa. Land is an asset that we Goans can ill afford to loose. Land is one commodity that once sold is gone forever. A number of Goans for short term gains have done away with the land that was handed down, through generations to them by their forefathers and for the time being, may not regret but there will come a time when posterity will curse their elders for their unforgivable actions.>>> RESPONSE : Land is not the root cause of all problems in Goa. Our Goans are gullible to whatever politicians say, and politicians know it. Did we not have the same land in Goa for the 450 years of Portuguese rule? Do not other States and Countries have land? Or is it different from land in Goa? The root cause of all problems in Goa is first the successive Governments we had, with people without integrity who only looked to their selfish interest rather than for Goa and Goans as a whole. Governments with no discipline, promoting favouritism, nepotism and corruption. It has created a generation of corrupt Goans who benefit from these corrupt elected elements and elect them time and again for their personal benefits. This generation of arrogant, indisciplined and semiliterates care two hoots for Goa and are blinded by short term gains. The Government has been so emboldened that they are misusing the Law of Land Acquisition with impunity for personal gains. So where does our small time landowners have an opportunity to save their ancestral land for posterity? If the already deceptive and fraudulent Mundkar Law or Land to the Tiller Law has not yet taken the land from the rightful owner, it is now the Land Acquisition Act. What options does a small landowner have? If it is not the government, it is these recalcitrant new generation who encroach on the land, and justice is nowhere in sight. Goans are better advised to double check whatever politician speak. Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.
