Why this rumination now with or without nostalgia about Operation Vijay, Goa's Liberation, Goa's adoption of Konkani as Goa's state language and heroisation of this one or that one participating in on this side or the other side? Don't you think good work with Dalgado Konkani Akademi with Konkani in the Romi script and discussion on Goa's present problems - they are many - be more appropriate? I might be wrong to suggest this, but reading through the 'nostalgia' of return to 'good or bad old days' seems to me to be a distraction away from the myriad issues Goa faces today. A good analysis of the events of the past might be a good solution. All could participate with their own personal share in these discussions. Some basic orientation of the theme would go a long way for all to participate and discuss. Long live GRN. W R Da Silva
