Jen =============================================================== Thanks Miguel for giving us the dope on these paranoid individuals who oppose the Heriitage Fesitival at Fontainhas. The Portuguese left Goa over 40 years ago, booted out, Finit, and some of thes folks are still tilting at windmills. If we want to get rid of foreign influences, lets start with the Aryans who brought a foreign religion Hinduism and Casteeism into India and Goa, the Greek influence, the Iranian influence, the Afghan influence, the Islamic influence. Let stop writing and conversing in English and Hindi and revert to whatever language our forebears spoke. Let us stop wearing Western clothes and revert to the Cashti. Let's get rid of all the foreign names still being used in India, like Connaught Place in Delhi, Dalhousie etc. What a bunch of idiots we have amongst us. We cannot erase history. The Portuguese are not coming back even if we begged them. Their presence amongst us over 450 years enriched our culture and made Goa an attractive place for tourists to visit. Let us give up our computers and our cars and two wheelers for surely they were invented in foreign countries and revert to our revered "bhoil ghaddi". Lets get rid of all the religions currently being practiced in Goa as they are all of foreign origin, and revert to the religion of our forebears. I did not live under Portuguese rule in Goa and have no special affinity for the Portuguese, but enough is enough, when are we going to wake up and become mature and accept history for what it is ?
