As Goa commemorates the 58th Opinion Poll, prominent voices share concerns about the erosion of the State’s unique identity. From land conversions to cultural assimilation, they emphasise the urgent need for government action, youth involvement, and collective responsibility to safeguard Goa’s heritage, language, and way of life.
