Can we put an end to this thread ? It is petty and sickening and now we are going into a tangent of caste politics, and naming individuals. This is gutter talk.It started out with the first International Goan Convention 30 years ago. Somehow it veered into the 2008 convention,which the original criticism had nothing to do with. What next ? I did not attend either of the conventions, so I can comment dispassionately. Enough is enough !
