Hi Bernado It may not have registered with you what was recently stated on Goanet. First, the Goan/Indian doctor in the Carribean is the "coolie doctor" as per the local people. Second, for argument sake, you compare a highly trained/qualified doctor with a coolie and this is nonsensical. Third to combat the problem of parts of Goa becoming open latrines, you studiously avoided the pragmatic argument from several Goanetters for permanent and portable toilets where appropriate. Fourth, I assert that any Goan would, to use your terms, "piss" and "shit" around if toilets were not available in given circumstances. Murmugao harbour (or as often referred to as Marmagoa) was one huge open air latrine for Goan men, women and children when 'camping' out for a night or two prior to catching a ship to British and Portuguese East Africa. This was also recorded on Goanet. Fifth, where do you think the Goans, among the other Indians, faced the call of nature during the long trek between Mombasa and Nairobi and then beyond to Kisumu and Kampala, prior to and during the construction of the railway? Not even their colonial masters doing that trek, largely on foot, had portable or any other toilets at the dawn of the 20th century.
So wake up man, because it appears that in the cases above, you only read what you want to and shut your eyes to other detail. Please do not damn the workers who come to Goa because there is work for them. Public education over sanitation and the provision of sanitation facilities go hand in hand re any desired or required building construction work. Now let us see how you might respond to the above. Good wishes Cornel --- Bernado Colaco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Goans do migrate and have migrated for > centuries to other countries.
