Dear Tomozinho, All Konkani initiatives should make us happy. The following is not a criticism. One must rather consider, at this point---to popularize Konkani songs FOR Konkani Integration and Assimilation (of the range and breath of Konkani). Or also, do the same alongside the concern for National Integration; although it may dilute the central thrust--which I believe--at this point (and it is more of segment, than a point) must be Konkani centered. ++++++++++++ venantius j pinto
