Didn't the Goa Govment (the saffron one) say we had Juish ansestry in some text book? My take is this was created to pi**/hurt the katholiks off...just my take ok.
Going by our achievement in athletics (two Goans won Olympic medals for other countries, and Eddie Seq came close to a bronz for the desh)....all in middle distances may say we do have middle eastern blood no? Goa was active trading post for the middle easterners and their presence was known in Murmagao. But then, in terms of being smart...we arn't the sharpest pencils in the box!
