It is a good sign that people finally realized concern about their wards after twenty years of silence. I must say Church being a powerful Institution in Goa should have had played a crucial role in 1991 itself when illiterate Goa Govt. imposed Konkani as MOI on our inocent children, rather Church submitted to the wishes of these 40 plus dumb creatures on this earth.
If you imagine, one could guess it was clear conspiracy to subjugate Church run schools, because there are hardley any Govt aided schools in Goa besides few Govt. run primary schools in which pupil's attendence is very poor, thus making Chruch run schools major chunk of Govt. aide. According to Govt., they implemented MOI in Mother Language as per UNESCO, in that case even private run schools should have had Konkani as MOI keeping in mind every child's education in mother tongue. This shows how Govt. wants to have kickback through back door by authorizing unlimited private schools and one can guess nearly 75% of these schools belongs and financed by non-Goans. These are not in the interest of education but rather full-fledge 100% profitable business.
Secondly, I would have been flying high if the same above digit's (15,000) would have been present at GRA meet,people feel the heat to secure their children's future and that made them to hit the street in one voice. Similarly, the very same people should realise the future of Goa is at stake, they should not look within their domain, they should come out in one voice and show some concern about Goa as well. I wish people to give up their selfish mentality and in the same pattern shall support every effort put forth by GRA. GRA is people's fight and not a dictate from Delhi. And at last I beg you people of Goa Please! Please! leave a side any differences irrespective of your current party affiliation, caste, religion, etc. and come out in large no.s on 8th of April at Margao as you have done today and show some love to our beloved motherland Goa!!!
Right message, motivation and concern by a handful of individuals of PTA and other unknown organisations made it. The concern of parents brought them out in the scorching heat, some without even taking their meals made their presence by 1 p.m. at Azad Maidan. It was a quick planning by Savio Lopes, Nisser, Tomazinho and other reputed, sincere individuals who made all efforts and contacted the parents through different sources and made it a success. The Goan media's support was immense whereas in the case of GRA, the self publicity by a few individuals was supreme than the cause itself. The Goan media controlled by the politicians failed to give proper mention and cascade the cause. In politics, we have more leaders than the followers just like the Brazilian Army - more generals than the troops.
