"Couldn't agree more with Rajdeep. Maybe it takes a Goan away from Goa to realize Goa's true value and the degradation that is taking place everyday. I personally don't care for Scarlette or her mother or her allegations. May her soul rest in peace, but there are million more heinous rapes and murders committed in the heartland of India every day. No one notices when a brown skin is raped and murdered or burnt alive for nonsensical reasons in Bihar or UP. Atleast their mothers don't leave them with strangers to go "गांवार पड्पाक". The Scarlette case was a simple matter of choices, and their consequences.

Long live Goa."
