Goa's jinx..

It's too early now to forget the unfortunate tourists' murders in Goa and before we could annihilate such bad memories from our mind, another one such incidents has come up cracking the surface. This time the scenario is set around the son of a minister of Goa. It's very disheartening to find the ministry that comes under this minister's ordinance. This is the education minister of Goa and the son is now a part of Police's wanted list for molesting a minor foreign girl, who was here to enjoy her in Goa vacation. This is an example case that shows how bad and weak the law and order in our country are. Police started searching for the boy as soon as they received the news and the search was made stronger since the number of crimes against foreign tourists is increasing at an appalling rate everyday, in spite of the fact that the criminal involved in this case is the son of one of the most influential ministers in Goa. I was quite satisfied by the way police department worked towards the case and tried to put the criminal behind the bars. But, the bad news I stumbled on this morning is that cops have deferred the case against the son for now and the politician claims that his son is innocent, which is a very common statement that most of the politicians come up with after their close ones get into trouble. None of us know what happened behind the screen which stopped the inching of police towards getting their hands on the criminal who cares to give nothing to the glory of this nation. But, we can be sure something very bad has taken place against the law behind the screen just because it's a politician's son who is into trouble now. Can law do anything to bring justice to the foreign girl who was 14 when this incident happened? Where is the equality here? Can the courts now take a chance and prove that it still stays above Government by providing the perfect verdict in this case? Are the police capable of working independently without the influence of politicians who work only for their welfare? The answer is one and the same for all these questions. NO! That's it!

Is India becoming precarious for tourism??

Of late, many incidents have tainted the image of Indian tourism industry. While the Government is concentrating more on promoting the country as one of the most pleasurable tourist countries in the world, it has failed to curb the atrocities caused to the foreign tourists who are forced to face what they didn't expected to encounter here. What is the use in making efforts to keep the house clean and tidy for the visitors if no one is going to visit the place? Keeling's murder in Goa produced a shockwave across the nation and also across U.K and defamed the security provided to foreign tourists in India. The bitter part of this fable was that the Police attempted for a cover up so that they won't be held responsible for the brutal murder of this 15 year old girl. The girl's mother was pushed into a state of complete agony and misery since everything seemed to turn against them, including the Goa Government, which initially appeared to stand on her side. Very recently, on 9th October, an Australian national was beaten to death in Goa by a security guard and two waiters after the 65 year old Australian pulled a duel with these three men out of his bag. They are tourists and most of all, they are our guests. That makes patience of highest degree necessary for us. If we are privileged to kill someone just because he/she mocked the way we go around, each of us should have killed more than 100 people by now. If this is the case, then how can we call India a tolerable nation if the very word is missing even at the lowest level? What is the use of the politicians being 'Tolerable' in front of the TV cameras? Goa, which is known for its beaches, is now a dark spot on Indian map. Unfortunately, Goa has forced the world tourists to think twice before they plan for an Indian tour, which will definitely reflect a negative impact on the tourism industry of the nation.
