And some places in England are just as dirty as a dump in Mumbai. goans owning property in the UK, if our country allows outsiders to buy we should ask the government to change the rules, as they have rules here and we the british have flouted them, thats why there is now public outcry blah!blah! Blah!! And lastly the drug trade started due to the hippies and brits and has polluted goa's youth and society. He does agree that many goans depend on tourism but not the brits that come here on holiday are not all of proper background and do not do much to help tourism, though maybe they help the drug trade and cigarette industry, he forget about AA. Change your own society! Rohit Rebelo, With reference to Richard Cregan’s letter titled ‘Brits will leave Goa’ in Herald (27 Oct), he needs to note that he may have been referred to as a ‘dreg’ for a short while. But before pointing a finger at us for insulting him, he needs to remember that when the British ruled India, my people had to suffer boards that read ‘Dogs and Indians not allowed’ outside restaurants and bars – that too in India, which is our own country! Secondly, with respect to littering public places, when I visited Twickenham in London a few years ago, I personally helped clean up a river of trash left behind by spectators who had just headed to the stadium close to my uncle’s house to watch a rugby game. There are areas in England that are just as dirty as a dump in Mumbai, leave alone Goa. Thirdly, with regard to Goans owning property in the UK, if your country allows outsiders such benefits, then it is your business to ask your government to change the rules. In India, we have rules and clearances that must be obtained before a foreigner purchases property. These rules have been flouted by many foreigners, and hence if due to public outcry our government wants to rectify such errors, we will only support it in doing so. Finally, with regard to corruption, we are doing a lot to change the situation for the better. With the current politicians well entrenched in their seats it will take time to achieve our goals, but we will get there. Earlier Goa hardly saw a rape case, but recently such rapes have taken place due to inflow of foreigners who come to our society (which has a conservative nature) in skimpy clothing and walk around in our markets and lie topless on our beaches sunbathing. Learn to respect the place you come to. Furthermore, the drug trade started due to hippies and Brits and has only polluted our youth and society. Fiona Mackeown, the mother of Scarlet Keeling, was no model of propriety. I definitely agree that many Goans depend on tourism, but the Brits who come here on holiday are not all of proper background and do not do much to help tourism in Goa, though maybe they help the drug trade and cigarette industry. Brits are welcome to holiday in Goa, but they should please keep their opinions to themselves and let us look after our own society, while they try their best to change their own society for the better. Hope this is of interest, I think this might be Milwarts educated brother?:eek: |

It is not comparable to Twickenham! And of course when the going gets tough bring up the old 'British control' history. That has all changed now. So what has changed about Goa....more rubbish on the roads! |

If it is a letter that disagrees with them or may offend them. I have seen this attitude in words but I wonder if they'd act on it? |
