Since you ask, heres my reaction--I couldnt care about this issue one way or the other. There are hundreds of other chapels of greater significance all over Goa. You have a one sided account posted on goanet, and I will not bother to give you the other side. If this issue interests you so much, you can get it on your own. As far as I am concerned, Anjadiva was, and continues to be, an uninhabited island. I am glad it has been now put to good use for the nations defence. Who knows, I may also get to play Golf in Kadamba shortly. cheers Gilbert.
