Mr. Noronha,Do elaborate on what "moral" definition you are alluding to, and for whom?Can the foreign residents presently in Goa claim Goaness?I.

A.K.Priolkar has anessay of his own on "Who is a Goan" too. As a member of an expat community which has roamed the world andbenefitted from belonging to diverse cultures, I am unwilling toaccept exclusivist what-is-good-for-me-is-not-good-for-youperspectives.
