Fight to retain our Goan identity.


Date: 10.12.2019
To
The Editor,

Sir For your approval and publication.

Fight to retain our Goan identity.

A Niz Goenkar s fight for Goan Identity is not a yesterdays  realization and today's cry. Despite the Portuguese Rule of 450 years People of Goa managed to retain its unique native Culture thus making Goa one of the most multicultural showcases in India. we have inherited our beautiful Goa from our ancestors for safe keeping and passing it on to the next generation. Many years back I along with many others had shown our concern to the erosion of our unique Goan identity and the influx of migrant in this tiny state of ours only to get brick batted by a few giving pretext of humanity and Indian constitution. Failed by our politicians to safe guard Goa for posterity every Goan has a hilly task ahead to preserve whatever left . There is no  harm in demanding  jobs for the niz Goenkars.  distribution of Goan resources to the sons of the soil. The Niz Goenkar may not win this masive task without the support of the neo Goans who has to realize that here is a Goan who has inherited this beautiful Land from his forefathers and the Neo Goan has been living in sync  with the Niz Goenkar for the last 30 years and will live forever but not by snatching what is rightfully his and depriving Niz Goenkar his right . For all this to happen the identification of the Niz Goenkar is utmost important hence I will support the POGO bill. Let the politicians play their vote bank politics but this unique identification of Niz Goankar is important so our future generations are not displaced and deprived of their right to our mother land  by this  rapid  wave of cultural erosion and identity crises.
