Good job Cecil.Yes we now have the dubious honor of being one of the few regions in the world to ban the Da Vinci Code. I say few because I have excluded the Taliban, the Wahabi mullahs from Saudi Arabia but maybe I shouldnt? What a fine moment for Churchill Alemao and his supporters! As Maria Aurora Couto pointed out we have arrived - straight into the Dark Ages and the rollicking times of the Inquisition. In the meantime Joel's Clippings report that a boulder came rolling into the Nerul School and this year English medium schools are to open without government grants. While the rest of the world lauds Indians for their emphasis on education which has been a huge factor in our economic growth, some of our Goan Catholic leaders have chosen zealotry as a means to get us on the map! So why did the print version of Da Vinci code not create the same furor that the movie has? Maybe because our leaders can't or won't read and neither will their 'disciples'?
