No one should instigate a Goan, much less castigate or boastimate. Even in the least oxygenated diaspora, one is likely to find a Goan so entombed in wisdom as to completely eclipse the Kingdom of Goans. In the History of the Jewish People para 658 - 1000 GEONIC AGE (Babylon) there appears this startling revelation: The last Goan of prominence was Hai Gaon, who died in 1038. The title Gaon eventually became used to describe someone who had a great knowledge of Torah. (http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:w64VGDMTr7kJ:www.jewishhistory.org.il/history.php%3Fletter%3Dg+goan+torah&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=84&gl=us&ie=UTF-8), Let it thus be acknowledged quite simply and likewise exclaimed that unbeknownst to most, a Goan comes in more than one variable.

In a strange parallel, Jews have been afflicted with the same problem. In 1988 there was a bill proposed, know as the "who is a Jew" bill. Very prudently, Yitzhak Shamir shot down this bill, after a hue and cry was raised by American Jewry. You see, Jews now settled in Israel know that but for the powerful Jewish lobby that operates in Washington, Israel would disappear in a puff of smoke. Jews in "exile" can be just a powerful as Jews in Israel. My hope is Goans in Goa, realise that Goans wherever they are, are still part of Goa, and have much to offer them. Constantly questioning their loyalty, their input and their relevance is being myopic and insular to say the least.>>> --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Mervyn: Lastly, IMHO Goans in Goa have the best > ideas about tourism. > > Peter: Firstly, best ideas can come from anywhere in > the world.
