Kudos Elisabeth, You are on a fast-track to being an ayatollah. Kind Regards, GL
Elisabeth Carvalho I hope you are not apologising on my behalf atleast. If you take the word "Konkno" out of the Konkani vocabulary, I'd be interested to know what you would replace it by. Hindu? There are many bigoted minds in Goa, who us the word "Hindu" and "Indian" in a derogatory manner. I think instead of making such cosmetic changes as deleting words from our vocabulary, we should consistently go about changing attitudes instead. Which brings me to my second point? Do I really need to apologise for the biases inherent in my father's generation? .... Why all the mindless apologising? Let the past belong where it does. Let the future belong to more enlightened minds. _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
