Thank you Vidyadhar for this interesting article. I remember reading an
article on Goa, by a person who seems to have spent quite some time in the
state. His name is William Darlymple, who wrote: "Most Goans still consider
their state a place apart: a cultured Mediterranean island, quite distinct
from the rest of India. As they quickly let you know, they eat bread, not
chapattis; drink in tavernas, not tea shops; many of them were Roman
Catholic, not Hindu; and their musicians played guitars and sang fados. None
of them, they assured you, could stand the sound of sitars or shenai."
I am sorry that I did not note down the source of this quote. But the people
whom William met seem to have a very different perspective than what was
written in the article by Armstrong Vaz.
