Well said Roland. JoeGoaUK's contribution is enormous and mind boggling. I know of no other source where you can access information about the food, tiatre's, funerals, events, places of interest, religious places,culture, traditions, fruits and vegetables of Goa etc of Goa than Joe's hard work. It is sad and unfortunate that he is not given credit for his work even though he expects no money. Perhaps, like Rajan Parrikar, he should copyright his work, with the proviso that it will be available free of cost (with due credit) for non-commercial purposes.
Regards, Marshall *Any goa-related search whether a political meeting, social event, feast, funeral or indeed anything of interest to viewers on You Tube will result almost all the time in display of a work product of JGUK.It boggles the mind to imagine the logistics, effort and expense needed to achieve this. Therefore it would be no exaggeration to call JGUK 'Goa's wandering historian'.In any other country he would have been celebrated, quoted and his work depicted. Perhaps even a Doctorate from a University. In Goa his efforts are merely tools for mean opportunists wanting something for nothing. No wonder his frustration at not even an attribution.Part of that may be due to JGUK himself. His extreme paranoia in remaining anonymous perhaps gives those misusing his work the feeling that they are not offending a living, breathing person.Whatever the case may be, we on Goanet appreciate his work deeply and thank him for giving us insight into Goa today.* *Roland FrancisToronto*
