Dear Smita Sail, Don't you think that the share of Goans in slavery of Africans is greater than you admit here because there was a 'catholic' attitude towards black skin with the tag, not-human and without soul. I have done quite a bit of 'theological search' in Europe and Portugal and in this the basic black is *soulless*, so he could be enslaved - a total of at least 15 million Africans, Blacks, were taken into slavery from 16th century onwards.,. Colonise, cultivate, colere ... means to plough with a coulter, ploughshare. Colonise, culture come from these Roman-Latin, Greek-Ionian terms. There was a Colonus in Greek mythology. Ravindranath Tagore translated colonise, culture etc. into Indian language from colere, cultivate; so, culture he called krshttati, krsh, krishi for agriculture, field-ploughing, Dr. Suniti Kumar Chatterjee corrected him and made krshttati into sanskriti (along with sanskrita, cultivated). Vyas, vyavasaaya in India is cultivation from vas- to plough, and leads to vasati, dwelling by cultivation. Jain dwelling as basadi etc. I lost contact with you over a time. All the best, William Robert Da Silva
