You have done nothing of the sort. Nobody
postulated a "single monolithic identity" (whatever
the hell that is) to begin with. For someone
who huffs and puffs about Dr. Desai imagining
things, you are no slouch at it yourself.
Be that as it may, far be it from me to stand
in the way of you and your fantasies.
Two Goans are no more alike than two members of
the same family living under the same roof. Why
must all members of a family be identical in
everything they do & think? Can't they otherwise
not share a common bond, a slew of common traits,
a set of common experiences? So, in the bizarro
universe you inhabit, unless every member of the
family is a clone of each other there can be no
common identity. Wow, Dr. Einstein.
Warm regards,
