Further to my earlier email - apologies to George if it came out too strong. However, an Italian piece (if you can understand it): Il primo indiano ad essere innalzato alla gloria degli altari; José Vaz nacque a Benaulim (Goa) allora possedimento portoghese dellIndia sulla costa del Malabar, il 21 aprile 1651. ... And a French one (almost a literal translation of the above): José Vaz, dont les parents étaient portugais, naquit à Benaulim, à Goa, sur la côte du Malabar, alors possession portugaise ,le 21 avril 1651. ... In Konkani, he is referred to as Padr Jose Vaz. He was born on Portuguese territory, not on British territory. So why anglicise his first name? How does "Naik" fit in ? Remove the "racist" blinkers, PLEASE! Cheers, Gabriel. Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
