Re the posts on the Great Goans of Goa, I wonder if we are inclined to mean
those who became PROMINENT by virtue of education, professions, business,
celebrity etc?
Perhaps some time later, we might wish to consider the criteria for the term
"Great Goans" otherwise we may have rather too many prominent Goans, when we
really want to discover who the really great ones were, and which by
definition must embrace a smaller number than the long lists compiled to
date.
Just a thought!
