*For the benefit of some Goans who "opine" that Goans in Goa do not care about Goan Identity (and it is only the NRG's); I will start posting views directly from Goans in Goa(I had posted related letters earlier also on Goanet)* ** *http://www.oheraldo.in/newpage.php?month=1&day=19&year=2010&catid=13* *Historic opinion poll Everette Telles, Chandor *The exhaustive editorial on the 42nd anniversary of the opinion poll titled ‘The Day of January 16’ (Herald, 16 Jan) has brought out the salient features of the untiring contributions of Dr Jack Sequeira, which eventually culminated in Osmitai Dis, a day which will go down in history as a red-letter day for preserving the Goan ethos. The ‘OPinionatED’ article by Roberto Rodrigues and Aleixo Fernandes ‘Saluting Dr. Jack De Sequeira’ (Herald, 16 Jan) lavishly complements this editorial, focusing on the immense contributions and determined spirit of the Father of the Opinion Poll. We need to resolve and rededicate ourselves and emulate the lofty ideals of the Father of Opinion Poll, Dr Jack Sequeira, by being more pragmatic and proactive in our approach to defend our true Goan identity.
