I see the entire BJP coterie is out in full force to pillory him. As far as I'm concerned the Nair, Sen Guptas and Gagdils on this list make far more sense than all the "Kars" put together. Excluding Helekar ofcourse :-) The Kars of Goa should learn something from the fairly more broad-minded and liberal thinking South Indians. Dear Selma, I too applaud RKN for his open apology. It does take a man or a woman to acknowledge an error. However, I do not applaud him for his original post on the matter. There (perhaps unintended) ridicule of the surname was not called for. I also believe that RKN does sometimes shoot from the hip. We all need to take a deep breath before letting go of stuff which can embarrass us because we have not bothered to know or to research .....but we assumed ...that we know anyhow. I invite you provide your reasoning behind your statement that "Nair, Sen Guptas and Gagdils on this list make far more sense than all the "Kars" put together" [the caveat re Santoshbab having been noted]. Remember now .... we ALL are "kars" or "cars" too i.e. Goemcars/Goemkars. Are you suggesting that Non-Goemcars make more sense about Goa and Goans than Goemcars? Isn't that the Genesis of the problem that we Goans are facing at this moment? sincerely jc BTW: I note that Anandbab (like Santoshbab) is a Neurologist. I would like to advise that a Neurologist ...is NOT a Logger from Neura (;-) when time permits, please read this 2002 article: The Tale of Two Rivers http://www.colaco.net/1/rivers.htm
