Special Status for Goa is concept promoted by small fraction of Goa who view Goa as a separate entity from India. It demands that the Government of Goa be given certain powers by the Indian Government by amending article 371(1) of the Constitution of India. These powers would allow the Government of Goa to enact special legislation to control the private property rights of the Goans and put restrictions on the sale of land by Goans. While this remains politically important issue for certain sections of society, there is also a counter argument provided by some Goan people that the special status would be a gross violation of their private property rights and will limit their economic development in coming times. It is also suspected that this political issue is promoted by Church to stop inward migration of Hindu population from the rest of the India making Christian votebank of limited influence. ==Unique Culture Protection== Proponents of special status demands have been using "Culture" as a main theme without outlining what that culture is. Also, random claims about environment etc. have been made without providing any hard evidence to such claims. The demand for Special Status has its origin in the loss of identity of the Goan People as claimed by certain people. Claims have been made that the inward migration is affecting Goa's culture and natural resources even though no study has been conducted to establish facts. There are actions initiated both by the Goa Government and some Citizen Groups to further the demand for grant of Special Status Powers. A delegation of the MSSG led By Adv. Antonio Lobo handed over a memorandum to the Chief Minister Mr. Manohar Parrikar. A discussion over the amendment to Article 371 (i) of the Indian Constitution was deliberated upon. The Goa Legislative Assembly unanimously passed a resolution for Grant of Special Status and a delegation led by the Chief Minister of Goa met the Prime Minister to apprise him of the need for Special Status. Among the Citizen Groups, there was Goa Movement for Special Status led by late Mathany Saldanha and Movement for special status for Goa (MSSG). Adv. Antonio Lobo is the Convenor, Prof. Prajal Sakhardande, the Secretary and Mr. Antonio Alvares is the Joint Secretary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goa Special Status」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
