A lot has been said on social media and newspapers with regards to the recent street fight/brawl indulged in by a group of young Goan boys around a pub in the UK.
Well, I personally feel that the guy who had posted that video on social media (which unfortunately had gone viral) of this one single isolated incident at Hounslow without giving any proper information must had done it with the sole intention of showing all Goans (especially those who are currently working in the UK) as habitual drunkards and trouble-makers. Don't youngsters coming from other Indian states get drunk, fight against each other and indulge in some of the worse horrible acts around pubs/social venues in the UK? Don't they start rioting and destroying public property even during some cricket matches in the UK?
And why should our Goans who were born & brought up in Goa but who now have surrendered their Indian passports in favour of Portuguese passports and have gone in the UK & other European countries for employment purpose be blacklisted?
Hey, when our Goa government cannot provide them with some good job opportunities in the state, then what are they supposed to do? I think that the Goans who have surrendered their Indian passports in favour of Portuguese passports and have migrated in some European countries for employment have indeed done the right thing because this has really helped most of them to improve their own living conditions/standards (and also of their families) & to finally come up in life without relying on the false promises of their corrupt politicians back home in Goa. I therefore say that a Goan who simply sits back here and calls himself a Niz Goenkar but goes renting/selling everything of his ancestors for all the neighbouring outsiders for the greed of money and does nothing to stop the ongoing state-sponsored open destruction is not a Niz Goenkar.
