go goa!!

Goa has always been considered a place reminding beautiful romances of Raj Kapoor movies, or the fun filled, extremely cozy ambiance depicted in 'Dil Chaha hai'. It has always led India in providing a homely and alluring environment to millions of foreigners with mesmerizing beaches covered with date palms creating a hypnosis. Goa has always been associated with fun, frolic and freedom.
But some recent incident link it with drugs,despoil and death. With tourists becoming the receiving end of protests against the SEZ, with Goa becoming a heaven for drug peddlers, with foreigners being brutally murdered and raped, Goa is no more a reason to celebrate.

Citizens have to understand the long-term impacts of their ethnic mistreatments. Government should provide a good example by maintaining order of law and by punishing the convicts, instead of scaring the incomers by giving them "How to protect yourself in India" brochures. Police has to come up to the situation and should remain vigilant so as to avoid such heinous acts in public places like beaches.

With World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) identifying India as one of the foremost growth centers in the World in the coming decade, such incidents are definitely a matter of both disgrace and concern. India cannot afford to vilify its image of hosts who treat their guests like Gods to an insecure country with crowds of barbarous savages.
Hopefully, with the laid-back, peaceful, warm and friendly nature of the Goan people, the 'pearl of orient' will remain the 'tourist-paradise' in India.
