The events of the the last one week have revealed a lot. If Goans come together, everything is possible. I was one of the 30 protestors at Cujira last Sunday. We came together at very short notice, but what we achieved was beyond even our imagination. The whole of Goa stopped and took notice. The CM was caught on the wrong foot to put it mildly. Yesterday at Sancoale, I witnessed 30 become 300. As Rama said, the government has been playing the Hindu vs Christian game. High time we realize, we are all GOANS! As Swapnesh reminded the gathering, the government plays North Vs South, lets play the same game now, they wrote the script, we will rewrite the entire play. When the North needs support, the South will assist, and vice versa. I witnessed this myself when Capt Viriato and Amit turned up at 10pm without any fanfare and intimation at our protest rally against the Sound Pollution in August of this year. The only language this government understands, is the language of numbers. Its time to STAND UP AND BE COUNTED!

It is absolutely true. Unfortunately the government has made every effort to suppress dissent especially criticism of the TCP Department and has (so far) stubbornly refused to back down on the major changes made.

The majoritarian attitude has a lot to do in Goa being sold to the highest bidder. It's high time party leanings are put behind if we want to save Goa from further destruction. But it's a difficult task as the silence of the majority tells a different tale. Remember Goenkars are a minority in Goa.
