I cannot understand why people treat foreign land as a haven and condemn one on land India. Even our films are shot in foreign land and we have a smile on our face when we talk about vidheshi. There are many Goans who have given up their Indian citizenship and have landed on foreign soil. I do not know if they are really happy over there but why should we Indians give them title people of Goan origin or people of Indian origin and we make hue and cry when they come back.
When you give up your Indian passport and Indian citizenship you are no more Indian and even if someone becomes a great man, or a great leader he is no more an Indian and those Indian who found India substandard and that is the reason for leaving these place why do you celebrate Goan feasts, and Goan festivals and try to gather all Goans together? Many Goans have sold their houses and now they want us to remember them as Goans.
India is a beautiful country, it has vast amount of cultural heritage. Remember the Indian dances, the Indian festivals and India has different coloured soil. The land is beautiful full of hills and valleys and beaches and forests. We have villages and cities and towns, We are rich in ayurveda. We have the fauna. Investigate your own country and check the richness it has before you praise foreign countries,
