Dear UP, I must say this up front: You are a polite person. Please keep it that way
re #1: It might help IF I am in Goa at the same time (;-) re #2: No apprehensions about Saraswats on this side. I have many Saraswat close friends and members of family - NOT one of them is wily. Each one of them (as far as I know) is courteous, polite, proper, extremely trustworthy and very hard working. re #3: Regrets - it will be a pain to do that. The Portuguese left some 40+ years ago and took their links along with them. They are not nice people ... are they? Lighten up .... Do not take these discussions too seriously. You are surely a good guy. Keep it that way. Understand that - sometimes - a person claiming to be a Kunbi ....may not be one (:-) And of course ....there is no such thing called sub-Kunbi Harijan. Take care now and the best of wishes from here jc 2008/9/23 U P Kamath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [1] I really would like to meet you when I am in goa next time. [2] I can understand your apprehensions at the prospect of meeting with a wily saraswat. [3] You had posted a link for a book on saraswats commercial transaction with the Portugese at Mangalore. I have somehow lost that link. Can you post that link again?
