Dear Dr Selma Thank you for the comment on the conurbation of the three villages of Nuvem-Majorda- Betalbatim. Afonso Botelho
Sent from Rediffmail using iOS From: "Carvalho via Goa-Research-Net"[email protected] Sent:Fri, 10 Nov 2023 23:17:10 +0530 To: 'Afonso Manuel Botelho' via Goa-Research-Net [email protected] Subject: Re: [GRN] Re: Research on Betalbatim Betalbatim is a rather small village just off Majorda-Nuvem road, Nuvem being my village. It has some links to the migration in East Africa, which spread from Velsao to Betalbatim via marriage. But that small conurbation of villages Betalbatim-Nuvem-Majorda is better known for its sea-faring links, most of the young men here work onboard cruise ships, which has heralded a rise in living standards without any real social mobility. Formerly this was the bakers belt and then the sons took to the seas, occupations tend to be inherited, university graduation low, population density up until, recent times low. All this is changing as the area increasingly becomes a suburb of Margoa, with the inevitable concretisation. >Wishing you success with your book.
