You said,
transcend the
religious
divide and be based on what is common between the
Goans in Goa, whether
Hindu or Catholic. That should be the platform for a
Goan uniqueness, a
sort
of benchmark against which the Goan diaspora should
measure itself
rather
than set up standards based on their individual
upbringing or way of
life
abroad.
Natekar,
I also like the words and views you put in your post.
I passed out from college in 1981.
We friends had made a study that time about our
language,,,it was starting of Kokani movement...
please note...
We came to following conclusion
Two goan college girls when meet .. 90% they will
start conversation in English and if goes beyond half
hour chances that it will end in kokani is 30%.
If two goan college boys meet. 50% they will start
conversation in English and if goes beyond half hour
chances that it will end in kokani is 90%.
If a catholic and hindu college students meet. 95%
they will start conversation in English and if goes
beyond half hour chances that it will end in kokani is
70%.
If two catholic college students meet. 100% they will
start conversation in English and if goes beyond half
hour chances that it will end in kokani is 30%.
If two hindu college students meet. 100% they will
start conversation in English and if goes beyond half
hour chances that it will end in kokani is 100%.
I dont think there is any imporvement in this
statictic in favour of kokani... my knowledge tells me
that .. it is worsen....
