Iparadesi etshisayo yeelwandle zegolide ezinemithi, iindawo zokutyela ezingaselwandle, uhlaza oluchumileyo kunye nokuzola. Lo bubuso obonwabileyo, obunoncumo lweGoa, umfanekiso otsala abantu ukuba bawutyelele kwihlabathi liphela, kunye nalowo abasemagunyeni bathanda ukuwubonisa. Kodwa kukho obunye ubuso obubini. Kukho iGoa eshishina kakhulu, igxadazela kunye neziseko zayo ezikhasayo; kwaye ke kukho iGoa yokuhlaselwa ngokwesondo, ukubulala kunye norhwaphilizo, ubuso obusandul 'ukuboniswa kuluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe.
Ndihlala ndihlala e-Anjuna xa ndindwendwela iGoa. Eyona nto inditsalayo ziindlela ezizolileyo ezingasemva kunye nonxweme, apho inqaba yekhokhonathi egobileyo njengeenkulu ezigudle unxweme, zibethwa ngumoya wolwandle. Ngorhatya, amafu oboya obunganyelwenga ajingayo ahamba ngendlela eyothusayo ngaphezu kwamasuntswana okukhanya okuphuma kwizikhitshane zokuloba ezibengezela elundini phayaa kwaye konke kubonakala kulungile kwihlabathi.
Lo ngumboniso weGoan oboniswa kumaxwebhu ohambo, iincwadana zeeholide kunye neencwadi zesikhokelo. Ngelixa uninzi lokhenketho oluya eGoa lubandakanya abemi baseIndiya (i-2.4 yezigidi ngonyaka), isixa esikhulu sabatyeleli basuka phesheya (380,000).
Iindwendwe zakwamanye amazwe zibandakanya abakhenkethi bepakethe abadala abeza kwintengiso yeveki enye okanye ezimbini, kunye nabapakishi, abadla ngokuba bancinci kwaye banokuhlala iinyanga kwiindawo ezinjengeAnjuna kunye nePalolem.
Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, abantu baseRashiya baye badibana namaBrits, amaYurophu, abemi baseOstreliya nabaseMntla Merika. Ewe kunjalo, kukwakho noluntu oluninzi lwakwa-Israel, oluhlala luhlanganisana e-Arambol emantla eGoa. Kukho i-ex-pat element kunye nokuba bahlala eGoa okanye bachitha ixesha elininzi apho.
ICalangute liziko lorhwebo lwabakhenkethi bamazwe ngamazwe lweGoa. Inikwe isikhundla sayo, kufanele ukuba ibe lilitye elinqabileyo kwisithsaba sokhenketho lwaseGoan. Ezingenachaphaza, iibhowuli ezinemithi eneendlela ezivulekileyo? Hayi akunjalo. Ihlala ithe saa kwaye imdaka, iCalangute ngoku idibana neBaga kwaye iya iphuhla kwaye ibonakala ingenaso nasiphi na isicwangciso esibambeneyo sokucwangcisa. Ukuba kukho nasiphi na isicwangciso-qhinga ngoko akubonakali ngathi kunempembelelo enkulu, ubuncinane ngokumalunga nobuhle.
Indawo yorhwebo egqunywe kurhwebo oluthe kratya, kunye nevenkile nganye kunye nezacholo, indawo yokutyela nganye kunye nevenkile nganye okanye indawo yehotele ihlala indishiya ndirhalela ukuqhwesha. Lonke olu phuhliso lunempembelelo enkulu kwi-ikholoji, ngokuqinisekileyo, hayi kancinci ekunqongophelweni kwamanzi, apho abantu basekhaya bathwele ubunzima.
Iihippie zafika kunxweme lwaseCalangute ekuqaleni kweminyaka yee-70s, nto leyo eyabacaphukisayo kwanokuziphatha okubi kwabanye abantu basekuhlaleni. Ngelo xesha, kwakungekho nto ingako ngaphandle kweentsapho neelali zabalobi. Ngokwenene yayiyiparadesi entle elunxwemeni.
Ke, kwiminyaka yoo-80s, kwafika iinqwelomoya ezitshiphu ezisuka e-UK ukuya kurhwebesha umkhenkethi wepakethe yaseBritane owayefuna ilanga, iilwandle kunye neendleko eziphantsi. Amaxabiso kwiintlobo ngeentlobo zekhonkrithi eziphakamileyo zokunyuka kwabakhenkethi 'i-costa del hell holes' e-Spain ande kwaye kwishumi leminyaka edlulileyo i-Goa iye yaba yi-Spain entsha kwi-Brits ezininzi.
Uninzi lweBrits ngoku luhamba isiqingatha sehlabathi ukuya kufika eCalangute, apho balindele (kwaye bafumane) intlanzi kunye neetshiphusi, imivalo yesiNgesi, kwaye ngoku ipub yaseIreland evuthelwe ngokupheleleyo, enomgangatho ovanishiweyo kunye neepompo zesandla zobhedu, ebezinokuthuthwa zisuka. naliphi na inani lezitrato eziphakamileyo zase-UK. Asikokuxelisa — yinto yokwenyani.
Ngelishwa, okufanayo akunakuthethwa ngeCalangute ngokwayo njengoko kungekho nto ingako yeGoan ngayo. ICalangute yeyona ndawo ixineneyo yabakhenkethi egqwesileyo.
Ewe kunjalo, kuninzi kakhulu eGoa kuneCalangute. Eyona ndawo iphezulu yeCandolim yeyona ndawo ilula yokuthethathethana kwaye iGoa inamalwandle athile, iziza ezinkulu zembali kwiGoa endala kunye nembonakalo entle, ukusuka kumasimi achumileyo epaddy kunye namasimi emithi yekhokhonathi ukuya kumahlathi ashinyeneyo akhokelela eCastle Rock eWestern Ghats.
I-backpackers ibaluleke ngakumbi kwindawo yokuya e-Goa ukubaleka kuyo yonke into. I-Benaulim, i-Anjuna, i-Arambol kunye ne-Palolem baye bakhanga abahambi abazimeleyo iminyaka. Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokwanda kokuvezwa kwezi ndawo ziincwadi zesikhokelo, nazo ziye zathengiswa kakhulu. Abaninzi ngoku bayayishiya iGoa ukuze bahlale kwiindawo ezizolileyo ngaphaya, njengeGokarna eKarnataka.
Abanye abakhenkethi abavela kumazwe angaphandle abeza eGoa banokuphoxeka kurhwebo, ucwangciso olubi, ukucuthwa kombane, iindlela ezingekho mgangathweni kunye nokungabikho ngokubanzi kweziseko zoncedo ezisemgangathweni zabakhenkethi, kunye neenkxalabo zakutsha nje ngokhuseleko lomntu ziya kwenza okuncinci kakhulu kumfanekiso weGoa.
UFiona McKeown, umama kaScarlett Keeling, kunye negqwetha lakhe, uVikram Varma, bebetsalela ingqalelo kukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi kunye nokuhlaselwa ngokwesondo, ekucingelwa ukuba kugqunyiwe kwaye batshayelwa phantsi kwekhaphethi 'njengokufa ngengozi' okanye ukurhaxwa. Kunye ne-paedophilia, ebiyingxaki kurhulumente kangangexesha elithile, le yinkalo enembewu yeGoa, abaphambukeli abasecaleni abayi kufunda malunga neencwadana ezimbejembeje okanye iincwadi zesikhokelo.
I-underbelly ye-Goa ingcolile, ikhohlakele kwaye icingelwa kakuhle kakhulu: ukusuka kwiintengiso zomhlaba e-Himachal Pradesh ngokukhula kwe-charas, ukuya kwikhonkco lokubonelela nge-Mumbai nangaphaya; ukusuka kunxibelelwano lwe-mafia yamazwe ngamazwe, ukuya kulawulo lwamaqela e-rave; kwaye ivela kubani ihlawula kubani, kubani othengisa izinto ezingekho mthethweni kwaye phi.
Umkhenkethi ophakathi ukuya eGoa akakukhathaleli kakhulu oku. Amalungu oluntu olunobhaka ayazi ukuba iziyobisi zinokuthengwa ngokulula (uninzi lokuthengiswa kweziyobisi emva kokuba zonke zijoliswe kubo kunye nakumatheko abaya kuwo) kwaye bayazi ukuba badinwe ngamapolisa, umzekelo, kodwa abantu bamanye amazwe beza Goa ukuba ube nexesha elimnandi kwaye uhambe ngeenkumbulo ezimnandi.
Ngubani onokutsho ukuba yintoni umphumo oya kuba nawo kwi-Keeling kumfanekiso weGoa kwixesha elide. Ngexesha elifutshane, ncamisa kumfanekiso weposikhadi yeGoa njengoko, kumajelo eendaba ezizwe ngezizwe ubuncinci, indawo ngoku iyafana nokubulala nokubulala. Ngaba oku kuya kuchaphazela ukhenketho lwangaphandle? Lixesha kuphela eliya kuxela. Ngaba iGoa inomnqweno wokulungisa izenzo zayo? Ngubani owaziyo. Kuphela i-officialdom inokunika impendulo kuloo nto.
