Well written and aparently well balanced. However, please forgive me for asking an inconvenient question: COULD YOU PLEASE DEFINE THE "Outsiders" AND "ghantis" FOR ALL OF US? Is it the same definition that you used earlier "Ghanti = Muslims from Karwar and Hubli" ? And this "Goa as we knew it and as we inherited it from our earlier generation is preserved in all its glory" refers to the GLORY of post-Bhausaheb Bandodkar era in which you were born ? or the Bandodkar era of my childhood, pimples and deputationists included? or the Marcel Caetano- Gen. Vasalo e Silva Portuguese colonial era or the reign of Sondekar Raja or what? Reminiscences = remembering the Past as ONE WISHED IT WAS! Alas, our Past was never that rosy or filled with glory. Gory, may be. Gora, definitely. Glory, never! Mog asundi.
