This refers to Arwin Misquita's article on ancestral homes. I absolutely agree
that Goan's identity can be maintained by being able to keep and retain our
ancestral homes. Always not easy, specially with Portuguese type villas but,
where there is a will there is a way and when I was confronted by this
difficult problem, I rented out one home to be able to maintain & thereby
retain my property. Nobody can take what has been handed down to me for
generations for as long as I live. This may not be very easy, but even if one
has to sell, there are plenty of Goan buyers too.
