Reading many past posts on goanet, it would appear many goanetters - Hindus and Catholics favor the European countries introducing anti-Muslim burqa-ban legislation. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/18/spain-burqa-ban-parliament_n_650394.html
Many of these same Goans likely condemn very similar anti-Hindu legislation introduced in Goa. I am bringing this up to help us understand why similar laws and regulations on dress-codes were introduced in Portuguese Goa in the 16th-18th century. I have no strong feelings either way on this issue; which is aimed to harass a minority group. I think such rules are more of an effort to curb and discourage migration than any security threat.
