Happy Easter. May peace be with you.
Attached is this month's newsletter on issues of interest to GEMs (Goan,
East-Indian, and Mangalorean).
Knowing and preserving history is to protect the past for the future! Knowing
and understanding the past helps us to understand ourselves better. Grasping
the scope of one’s inheritance should give a more nuanced base to make our
decisions. To the diaspora, the land has the ashes of their ancestors and is
the abode of our deities and saints. We hope to unfreeze the events by
presenting to the readers when, why, and how of past events.
We hope you enjoy reading this aspect of GEM history. There is a lot of ‘food
for thought.’ Please forward the article to your relatives, friends, peers,
Indian, and Iberian chat sites. Sharing history is sharing our cultural
heritage, and the work is for us, by us. Thank you for allowing us to share
this with you.
