I find this from Alu difficult to take even with a large pinch of salt! Are you serious Alu or is this an early April Fools' joke? To suggest that the people of Goa would have been Pakistanis but for the Portuguese embrace is questionable on many counts. If I had the time, I would have spelt this out but I think it would be like casting pearls to swine. However, I say this more in in sorrow than anger. Cornel
