Tim D'Mello & George Pinto make some very interesting observations on the topic at hand.
Tim wrote:[What George has quoted is what I was told -systematic eradication of the native population. This is one of the reasons that it is so popular with White South Africans fleeing South Africa - also nazi Germans fleeing post war Germany.] Population demographics is an intriguing topic. The present population of Goans in Goa is dwindling. * Are they being 'systematically eradicated'? * Are they being 'eradicated from the system'? * Are they migrating more than ever before? * Has the Goan death rate in Goa risen above the birth rate? * Are there more non-Goans coming into Goa? like every hour! I submit that we need to look at these factors. Similarly, in Argentina...... the various factors for the increased Mortality among AmerIndians after the arrival of Europeans....and before...Arawaks vs Caribs........... having been noted Has the total NUMBER of AmerIndians gone down( with the appropriate correction) in Argentina....or is it only the case that the Immigration from Switzerland, Germany, Israel, South Africa, Lebanon and Italy....increased... giving Argentina the demographic percentage of 97% Caucasians and 3% AmerIndians/ Meztizos. BTW: the % Population of AmerIndians in Guyana is similarly ~ 2%. But.....the Population of (East) Indian migrants is close to 49% Did the immigrants from India 'systematically eradicate' the AmerIndians? Of course not! But....just as Tim observed in Argentina, I could say about Guyana or Trinidad or Suriname. Hey.....So many Indians....but NO AMERINDIANS! j.colaco ===== Recommended Goan Sites in Cyberspace Goa-World at http://www.goa-world.net The Goan Forum is at http://www.colaco.net __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
