Subject : Goans oppose everything ?
Goans opposing everything is a general representation of a view that I increasingly hear in Goa. The interesting part is that this distorted view is mostly promoted by politicians and those having vested interests against Goa and Goans.
I do accept that there are some genuine cases being wrongly opposed by Goans but these cases are largely in-significant vs. the overwhelming large non-genuine cases which clearly are against Goa’s interests with reference to its Environment, Ecology, People and their way of life. And cunning politicians will bring up the very few cases that opposition was wrong, so as to justify the overwhelming large amount of Anti-Goa projects. Also needless to mention, given the Goa Government Pathetic/Destructive Track record, people are justified to be skeptical of any of the Goa Government’s plans !
We know of other cities in India which from
Originally being beautiful/livable cities are now turned into filthy, polluted & un-livable by the governance which is clearly corrupt, destructive and short sighted in their development plans. Goa is also on the same path but thanks to the efforts of some selfless/sincere activists, the Rampage of Goa’s destruction was slightly slowed down. (not sure how long these Activists can hold on against some really corrupt & destructive lobbies unless Goans Support them). I am always grateful to these sincere activists; some of whom I know have sacrificed a lot for Goa/Goans and many times it’s a thankless Job.
Are these politicians/ vested interests saying that Goans should blindly allow the “Clean/Sincere/Non-Corrupt/ Environment Friendly/Effective” Goa Government to not share proper clear communicated plans but do what it wants with Goa and in doing so convert Goa to the likes of the other polluted/un-livable places in India ?
