I think Dotor Anil is mistaken here. I believe any person who puts forth a tangible argument on Goanet is making a positive contribution - even someone who merely advises you to ignore those he does not like for whatever reason, or who singles one person out as a bigot on the basis of a definition that applies to almost everybody. anil desai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Finally, the experts who wrote the Indian constitution were visionaries >who >have made provision for preventing uncontrolled migration >between different states under article 19 of the constitution.

I don't know what his own position is vis-a-vis this hallowed document, but it would be nice to know if he supports Arwin's position. Arwin by his own admission does not seem to have much respect for this piece of paper, at least in so far as his unique Goan identity is concerned. Please see his quote below: "Constitution was imposed on Goa via Conquest. Goa was not part of its Framing as such we need to integrate provisions to protect Goa which is an exception vs. other states. The Constitution is not God Sent, but made by man and hence cannot be perfect." .............Arwin Mesquita Now regarding Vidyadhar Gadgil, I am happy to hear that Dotor Anil and Rajan have not yet decided to kick him out despite the fact that he was regarded as a non-Goan ghanti. While neither Arwin nor Dotor Anil have been able to answer my simple basic questions about Arwin's Goan separatist identity movement, they have to be commended for trying to soften the impact of their agenda by infusing some confusion in it.
