Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fred, I do not quite see the link between what transpired at Dabolim airport with the 2 young ladies and the URL to the article below! At no point did religion come into the picture when these ladies were arrested. In a way, I felt that the law that brought about these arrests, is indeed stupid. As regards discrimination, that is a whole different issue and the politicians love to keep it simmering to gain political advantage. Discrimination is not just an Indian issue too. It is widespread across the world and I believe that many of us have experienced it, some time or the other in our lives.
