Dear Ms. Goswami,

Thanks for telling us that you travelled first class. God whaat a privelege!. I 
am not to sure if you are aware that the same Paca Paos are now coming in 
droves to my mutter land. Vey contradictory to their sayings in the 60's innit?

 From chors to actors to film chaps we see all of them in my beloved land. This 
they made possible in 61 with the invasion and imperalist songs such as 'aghe 
bhadthe' (recently posted by one Fred Noronha from bamana bhat - Saligao and 
paradoxically a communitst ).

Your resentment to the word ghanti is clear because of your close connections 
with them. The only way to get rid of this word is to get autonomy for Goa!

. Bernado Colaco,

I do object as an Indian being called a ghanti. What is so great in living 
in UK.  With a ghanti passport I have travelled half the world, sometimes 
travelling by first class,  worked  in Brazil, got royal treatment when 
travelling in South America, more than my fellow Brazilians. It shows the 
level you come from by calling Indians ghantis. What are you a foreigner? By 
the way, do you know what goans are called 'Paca Paos'. When I was growing 
up in North India, my friends associated goans, with their domestic staff. 
Thats what the non-Goans thought  of Goans during the sixties.


I thoroughly object you using the word 'ghantis' to us Indians.
