K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

  • Dr. Lohia and Goa – the Struggle for Liberation Against Portuguese Rule
    CHAPTER TWO THE STRUGGLE FOR LIBERATION AGAINST PORTUGUESE RULE Once the Goan parliamentarian Dr. Francisco Luis Gomes, somewhere in Paris said in 1861 the following; ' I belong to that race which composed the Mahabharata and invented chess.....but this nation which recorded her laws in poems and formulated her politics in the rules of a game, exists no longer. Here lies, chained in her own country exhausted from all her fecundity and in obscurity amidst the dazzling brilliance of her own glory.' The person who talked about his country with so much pride was none other than an Indian by heart, by mind and body, a Catholic by religion, a Portuguese by a quirk of history, a nationalist by spirit, who was dedicated to the cause of his country, who did not identify any difference between Goa and the rest of India and Portuguese in Goa. Can Goa be separated from rest of India just because Britishers ruled in India and Portuguese in Goa? The answer to this question is `no'. Goa was considered an integral part of India not only geographically but from all other aspects. The entire liberation struggle of Goa, was influenced by the Indian National Movement, especially the last phase, beginning with the 18th June 1946 movement for civil liberties. Since Goa was considered as an integral part of India, people of Goa thought that without the liberation of Goa, the Indian struggle for Independence is incomplete. Thus the two main demands in the liberation struggle of Goa were; (i) Liberation of Goa from Portuguese colonial rule, and (ii) its integration with the Indian Union.
