Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2009 09:35:50 +0400 From: Arwin Mesquita <[email protected]> But we need to appreciate at least 1 key fact i.e. Most of the migrants are in the process of of integrating into the local hosts culture/customs/language; in Goa its the opposite, due its small size/population. The answer is controlled migration with respect to the unique interests/characteristics of the specifics area. Mario observes: Arwin, Your answer of controlled migration would be illegal within India. You are still getting confused between states and countries. While I am skeptical of the claim that one in three Indians is a migrant within India, because this sounds too high to me, your "key fact" is not a fact at all. Why would Indian migrants within India behave differently when they migrate to some other Indian state and differently when they migrate to Goa? The REAL integration and assimilation is what takes place mostly in the US and Canada and and to a lesser extent in Australia, NZ and Blighty, where subsequent generations begin to intermarry with the locals. Within India, a Mallu behaves the same whether he is living in Goa or Punjab or UP. He maintains his traditional culture/customs/language though he may learn to speak a local language, or use Hindi which is becoming more widely used across India now than ever before. He and his family go back to visit his "gaon" from time to time. Other Indian migrants do the same, regardless of where they live in India. The Goans who live in Madhya Pradesh have the same culture/customs/language as the Goans who live in Maharashtra or Bengal.
