Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mario. Ref you below post: (1) You dont spend too much time in India to recognise my key fact (2) Lets focus on whats "Right or Wrong" for Goa and not whats "Legal or Not Legal"; (Legalities are driven by needs of the people of the soil and not vice versa; if laws have to be changed to protect people of the land then so be it) (Perhaps you need to see some laws in place in some Indian States which protect their identity) Arwin 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. Whould 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. -- Please post your comments on my Blog: http://goanidentity.blogspot.com/ Please also see below: 1.
