Among the expatriate Goans, Kuwait Goans are
known to be more noise making Goans of their power and position in Kuwait
because overwhelming majority of them are of hoi-polloi family category. In Kuwait there
are innumerable Goan associations and clubs manned by their presidents and
other office bearers. Many of them are
known to make a big show of them as if they are leading personalities in the
world even though no expatriate associations are recognised by the local
government. Our associations are our own dominions known to us only. Local authorities are least interested in our
associations and our activities. Our associations and our activities are
unknown to them.
During my last so many years of residence in Kuwait I saw so
many presidents and other office bearers who were acting as if they were
powerful Goans. Watching from their
style of behaving, talking and acting many times I got an impression that they were Devine creatures come from Heaven to represent Divinity. But in reality
within myself internally I laughed at them as if they were big jokers and in
fact they were big jokers. For them their world was only around their own circles,
clubs and associations. Job wise they
may be good in their trade and professions but as human beings they were idiots
of first grade. They din’t integrate with intellectually high calibre society
because intellectually they were bankrupt, they din’t act big for the cause of Goa and Goans because they din’t have big brain power,
they were afraid of smart people because they were not smart since they were suffering
from ancestral inferiority complex. Many of them got girls to marry only
because they were working in Kuwait.
All the so called top Kuwait Goans who were
dominating Goan scenes in Kuwait and acting as Lords in Kuwait and now living
retired life in Goa are living as unknown entities. Nobody knows of their presence in Goa as it
was in Kuwait. They are visible only in
the Churches attending the Church services regularly in their own localities.
The way they were active in Kuwait it looked they would dominate not only their
village level activities but also at Goa level as well. But NO! They are all lost in Goa making people like
us to ask “WHERE ARE THEY NOW IN
GOA?” Why they are living like unknown Cockroaches
inspite of having vast experience in doing activities in Kuwait backed by
their financial resources?
Where are all the
presidents and other office bearers of Kuwait Goan associations gone now? Where
they are hiding now from public life? Where are all the Goan Managers gone now especially
those who were harassing Goan staff working under them? Are they hiding
somewhere under the Petticoats of their wives for fear of reprisal for the sins
they did against Goans in Kuwait during their hey days of power, position and money? Can they play the same arrogance and same ”Dadagiri”
in Goa as they used to play in Kuwait? No, never, for this reason they are
hiding from public galore and they will remain there thus till they die.
To do public activities in Kuwait in your
community is easy because in your community especially in Goan community the
leaders are like one eyed men among all his blind followers. These Goan leaders
can handle only the cheap activities where you can get lot of cheap prominence.
You can see such people on the surface in foot-ball circle, Church circle and
Dance circle. Some of the cheap Goan
leaders you will find in these circles only doing cheap activities. In current
Goa such Kuwaitkars have no place to survive.
Kuwait.
