Hi Umesh, It appears that I have succeeded in clarifying some of your confusion. Thanks for reiterating my thoughts. I just want to make sure that you are not a Konkani-speaking guy who is a pro-Marathi, pro-Devnagiri, pro-Bal Thackeray bigot who wants to promote Marathi in Devnagiri script and Bal Thackeray's Shiv Sena-type gonda-giri in Goa.
There are many supporters for Konkani in the Roman script - You may note that Konkani in the roman script does give Goa and Goans an unfair economic and communication advantage over all other languages in vernacular scripts such as Devnagiri, Gujarati, Tulu, Kannada, Malayalam, Gurmukhi, etc. Madhukar N. Gogate, 73 of Pune <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> who has a MSc from London University and lived in London 1954 , has already done a lot of work for Marathi in the Roman script. He has already sent a wake up call for the Marathi diaspora illustrating his Marathi in the Roman script methodology on Aug 28, this year. In my last email I had given you ideas of promoting Marathi in the Roman script for the economic benefit of all Mararashtrians including those speaking Konkani on the Konkan Coast of Maharashtra - What have you done in that regard or are you still pre-occupied with your NIIT problems and peeing in the wind ? Please note that I had a typo in my last email - Bal Thackeray is not secular - he is a sectarian Zealot.
