Are we in danger of losing our humanity, privacy and freedom? When we look at the functioning of Parliament, ethics in public life, fast digitization and going in for data centres unmindful of the vast unskilled population, jobs for them, carrying capacity, infrastructure, senior citizens, flora and fauna destruction and injustice to a large population denied by majoritarian rule, where is law and order? There is so much violence and crime. It is timely that the CJI Surya Kant speaking recently at the Regional Judicial Conference has stated that matters of personal liberty must get top priority, will be guarded, rights will be clarified and governments will be held responsible! Let us not get to a reportedly severe water crisis as in Iran today due to poor administration. The book regarding our lifeline river Mhadei “The Science and Politics of Diversion” painstakingly compiled by our intelligentsia who deeply care for Goa is available free online at www.mhadeicollective.com and I understand has been given to all the concerned authorities. “We the people” who cannot condone the destruction of Goa, have to get back our culture of unity in diversity which is our USP.
