Goa Crying

Goa has not yet reached the nadir of degradation. But, there is a scare that decadence could soon change the face of Goa on a whole. With towns being choked with concrete, the infrastructure here is failing to keep pace with the rapid growth. This phenomenon was prominently captured by Rajan P Parrikar in telling photographs themed “The Rape of Goa“. His pictures were recently on display at the Menezes Braganza Art Gallery, Panaji.
Talking to the Goa Times, Parrikar, who holds a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering, said, “Goa does not have much time left. Real estate sharks and the mining lobby, with the help of corrupt politicians have devoured vast tracts of land, including prime spaces, which he says is a shocking tale of criminal assault on Goa’s land, culture and identity.
