These salt of the earth people have raised themselves up in society through sheer dint of hard work. Today they are represented in society as masons, teachers and administrative staff. I went to a Kunbi wedding once. The host was extremely gracious and hospitable. I've never seen such energetic and raw interpretation of dance and music, except once at a South African party. Perhaps there is some very distant racial genetic link with Africa and the indigenous population of Goa, but I digress. I would much rather be at a Kunbi function than at a pretentious frou frou party in Bardez, where people pretend they don't know Konkani. It is rather hypocritical to eloquently denounce religion bashing and then go on to denigrate another section of society who may not have the wherewithal to be represented on a cyber forum. selma __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
