Dear John, I was very happy to read your extensive report on WGD at Qatar. Yes,Konkani is indeed the soul of the Goan identity.Anyone who does not know the language cannot be proud to be a Goan. He can be a Goan,but which son can be proud of his parents if he does not know his mother who is very much alive and living with his brothers and sisters? Konkani is our Mai bhas...the mother language of all Goans..
