Manoj,
Thanks for pointing this out. Whoever deliberately
uses derogatory and patronizing terms for
non-Catholics, whether Goan or not, should be ashamed
of themselves.

I have recently read some derogatory comments about
Bhayyas. Most Bhayyas are law abiding citizens who
want the same things for their families as we want for
ours. Are they any different as migrants than the
Goans who migrated to other parts of India, not to
mention Africa and elsewhere, to escape the sussegad
economic malaise under Portuguese rule?
