This issue is hotting up so much that any one writing in any way in support and in opposing and while opposing they show so much hate to Konkani indirectly only to glorify English.
Some say English is very useful to the children so that they study it well which will help and serve them to get jobs world wide. Some say learning Konkani will not support them internationally which is true and who said konkani is read, written and spoken internationally other than by Goans and who will give them Jobs overseas? only in Goa and surrounding they might get. So we go English way. So far we have been doing that, i mean we speak, read and write Konkani eitheir in Roman or perhaps in Devanagri, and who is that while learning this remained totally ignorant of English and how many of those who went abroad and flourished are different from what i said so that they could not get jobs?.
This tamasha is only an excuse to jump from one into another era. Many of us studied in Portuguese and now running our life in English. In fact nothing went missing and how can it go missing in future? Indirect hate is shown to Konkani just to glorify English is what we can see. English is essential llanguage and no one is opposing it. There is a choice and it is made since long to which medium one want to study. The present and past generationS baring some are not exclusively specialized in English only yet there is no problem and why only now to coming generation it will make a problem to those who want to go abroad for jobs? English is not being blacklisted! As is present there is none a problem so why we are afraid of an issue which should not been an issue at all?
Some say, there we can get no jobs in Goa, so we went abroad. some say the Jobs are being sold by Politicians for lakhs of Rupees so if we know English (better than English presently studied) we will get jobs abroad as all jobs in Goa are sold to non-Goans/outsiders for a price so at this time the English better than presently studied English will help fetch them job abroad! And will some one say what happened to presently studied English? Is it not helping fetch jobs overseas? How come there are so many thousands of Goans now abroad, aren't they working? Besides this, fine we all learn English to go abroad to work because there are no jobs found in Goa for Goans. And now how many of us are not hating Non Goans calling them ghanttis etc because they have occupied the vacancies which was supposed to be ours, How many of us not cursing them that they eat what was ours? and Now we want English better than what English we studied so that we go abroad for hunting the jobs and allow to fill the remaining jobs by the Ghanttis and non-Goans?
So we leave Goa now for them only to be occupied and take over our would be jobs, our lands and our Goykarponn too. One side we are cursing them, other side we are helping them to come over to Goa and take over our jobs and Goa while we go abroad to hunt for the jobs, then we say Goa is no longer same, Goa is gone taken over by ghanttis and so on. Look we are demanding English (better than the present English now) so that we go abroad and let the non-goans take over Goa.
The present FORCE look like they want all of their children to go abroad wholesale and then the naked truth is we ourselves making Goa vacant for non-Goans to enjoy Goa in all respects. We Goans are pretty smart actors complaining too much while we ourselves are like hypocrites. Cant we see clearly here we ourselves are to be blamed? Or we fail to see it clearly the creation of our own conspiracy?
