The so-called outsiders have no right to point fingers at the Niz Goenkars — those born and brought up in Goa—or Goans working across the world. It is disheartening to see many settled in Goa, often for development or employment, raising unnecessary issues about our culture, language, and traditions. If you have left your native state and settled elsewhere, leaving behind your own language and customs, why criticise ours? We cherish our state, our soil, and our way of life. We urge you to mind your own business. Respect the state you live in and the people you serve. We Goans treat everyone equally and expect the same respect in return. Stop shouting on social media and posting pictures of others without permission—a serious crime. Don’t spread nonsense when you don’t know the facts. Let’s build a respectful, united community rather than divide it with baseless accusations.
