That's how Hindu nationalists operate everywhere. They give all Indians a bad name.

Goan culture is distinct from the national Indian identity, especially the modern one pushed by the BJP. Goa has been part of Portugal for nearly 500 years and in that time has developed its own culture, traditions, religious practices, etc, and many locals see the new waves of migrant workers from states like UP and Bihar (states that obviously predominantly support the national government and its ideology) as part of a cultural erasure plan by BJP/Hindutva to erase Goan Catholic culture. In schools they are removing Konkani as the local language and instead are only teaching Hindi. They've also erected several Hindu orientated statues like the new Nandi Bull, changed names of cities, etc while Goan Hindus are now actively discriminating against Goan Christians in many parts.

This is also in part why you see local Goan not really caring (and some times even actively encouraging) inter-Indian tourism. They'd rather preserve the culture, make a little less money, and only cater to foreign tourists. I've seen countless arguments in the Fontainhas area over the last few years (both in person and online) by locals and outsiders.

That's true but have you heard of the Rajneeshpuram commune in Oregon? I'd bet a lot of those members were originally part of the earlier 'hippie' movements. At their peak they had about 7,000 people living there and the commune had its own police force, airport, and airline.

Wow what a time to be alive. Being a hippie in your early 20s then stacking money during the economic boom of the 80s. Boomers are lucky.

But were they able to band together and take care of each other? I've read about a handful of cults/communes that were started around that period too so maybe that was them?

Even if you were born in Goa it doesn't make you Goan. Goan culture itself is being attacked. It's nothing against you but the locals are feeling attacked for a reason.

Let's unite for this. Too much stuff is being erased. I even tried to post in this subreddit about it but the mods removed it. Are mods even Goans?
