(Vivek wrote: Mr. Nair yet another doubt,in my mind how would you define people in goa I mean the goans when they speak portuguese, sing songs in portuguese, portuguese tapes/cds available in Goa,programmes in portuguese on the cable, somewhere the tourism ministry of goa/india do make a mention about the history of portuguese rule in Goa, portuguese architecture in Goa, churches built during portuguese regime,portuguese language being taught in schools, with all this prevalent in Goa does it smell to you that there are hopes of nursing of the second coming of the portuguese to liberate them from bharatis. )
Vivek, I can only say that there's a clear distinction between cultural affinity and political loyalty.
Also, to uphold one culture, one need not deride the others.
God bless you!
-- R.K. Nair
