Thank you Paul ....I was shocked at the reference to Tomasso found it very fishy and disconcerting that "Goans" were "Empty Headed".However having said that lets argue with the deaf. I am following four lines to give me fresh perspectives 1) One of them is to look into the role of the Jesuits.... really remarkable Fellows ...I am talking of the SJs...all the way to Tibet, Japan and China. Actually having dialogues with Muslums and Hindus. In a meeting I had in Quepem today around noon, I said I wanted to have a DIALOGUE with staff members listen and learn etc *2) I am becoming a real Luso...The Portuguese established the first Mint was established in Goa, three types of coins .gold, silver and bronze ...no notes, There was a mint in Kilwa (its slightly different and its related to the pledge I made to our Govt about a World Heritage Site
2B Also First Western Type Medical School but there was also a great deal of Collaboration with Muslims ....actually hand wrote many copies ...Xerox why were you so late in coming !!! 3) Burning of widows was stopped ......can you imagine what was the consequences of this on children and even suckling babies and young children 4) The Hadzabe in Tanzania a very tiny community practice stone age agriculture and indeed make it a point to protect women who forage.. Some years ago I had a World Bank Invitation delivered to me at Home at the University. WB funds were used to send a Senior Politician all around the world to have an inclusive policy ....so conveniently the Hadzabes were "forgotten" At the Meeting in Arusha, I made my statement ...a fellow comes to me and thanks me...He was one the only 2 Hadzabes who was literate So lets use discussions knowledge for bring understanding Adolfo ....
