"What message are the producers trying to convey to a sizeable Indian population who watch the
East Enders ? subterfuge is being employed and in a short time the younger Indians irrespective of religious beliefs will be living it up like Christian Goans."
How delightfully simplistic ths comment is.
The writer is pre-supposing that the young Indians are about to be influenced by TV Goan models. They have already been influenced by mainstream models and are emulating a lifestyle that far more open than our Goans are used to.
If the experience of Canada is similar to that of the UK (and I see strong similarities), the young Indians, in many cases, "live it up" better than many young Goans. On the west coast of Canada the young Indians have gone further. They deal in drugs and have their gang warfare where they try and protect "their turf".
To think that a Goan lifestyle is something that other Indians will strive to copy is IMHO just wishful thinking.
And, Oh! Yes!
VIVA GOA!!!
