Hi I am agreed to Mr. Santosh what he had mentioned about our goans, they simply bark like a dog which is no use at all. I am a goan and live in goa, but born in Bombay. I did not give-up of talking our mother tongue, though i was born and stayed in bombay for sever years. Some of our people (sorry to say) goans who stay out of goa, who settle in other parts of the world says they don't know konkani. Because of such people our konkani is going out of our hand. Even some people if they knows also they will say we cant talk konkani, these people feel shame to talk. In my opinion these people have no right to say they are goans, nor they can sent any mail to goanet regarding konkani, i hate such people.
Take an exemple of the other states people from India, like malayali even if they settled in other parts of the world they will never feel shame to talk in malayalam, but goans are not the same. We are proud, we are selfish even some actors they sing in konkani songs, when you met them they will talk with you in english. If anyone think he/she is a goan must know to respect our mother tongue first, then only you can be proud of yourself as a goan. If anyone get hurt from my mail, then that shows he/she deserve it. I don't want to, but i am sorry to write these few lines.
