Might be if Goans are finding it hard to get a foothold in the marketplace. Kashmiris as terrorists is spooky, there are so many of them trading all over India and they have been there so long.

And Kashmir has generated a few terrorists for a long time, too.. and still does.

Goans think it is.

In all states, out of state Indians run businesses.
In many/most states, there is some local dismay because of this. In some States more than others. In some states like Maharashtra and West Bengal, a disproportionately large share of business is run by out of state Indians.

Many/most states have been victims of terror. Most attacks have been traced to foreigners or out of state elements. So whats new?

As regards tenancy and keeping tabs on it, this makes sense everywhere. To say that Goa is some exception is incorrect.

It is usually foreigners who do not know Indian law or practice who either expect special treatment for Goa or are not surprised when it is proposed.

I guess that must be what some people want to do...
I'm doing it now....it is any easy procedure SO FAR should I add. It is nice to know they are trying to make Goa safer in that respect!

They are good at all this stuff though.....I mean look at the visas.

Thank Goodness for Kashmiris

Yes, there are lots of Kashmiris and out of state Indians doing business here in Goa, thank God!!! Kashmiris are NOT terrorists, anything but. Most are hard working, honest business people, who would not survive in business here in Goa if they weren't. Some of India's finest handicrafts can be found here, with the free market system benefiting the tourists. Goa would not be the tourist attraction that it has become if it were not for the wonderful arts and crafts that can be purchased here. I believe that discouraging out of state Indians to do business here would only hurt the economy and tourist industry here in Goa.

Unhappy

I have just moved here. The Goans not against outsiders once they realise you are a positive influence. They are very protective of the environment. The average goan villager is fairly informed of what is happening and the villages are so networked that your activities are pretty much mapped out. There are no secrets in India!
Also, the property prices have gone through the roof that makes the dream house unattainable.
