Re: [Goanet] Goanet Reader: Dr Cornel DaCosta, two reviews...

As a Goan born in Kenya, of parents still wondering how the Indians took 
over "our" Goa, I do not agree with your anti-potuguese sentiments. I 
agree the "white" Portuguse in Canada may still harbour demeaning 
attitude towards Goans, but I do not subscribe to the theory that all or 
most Goans were exalted to be "freed" by the Indians. Only when India, 
that largest democratic republic, completely and fully recognises our 
differences, in religion and culture, and gives us the full support to 
continue our desire to remain Christian Goans, in peace and in harmony, 
yet in a distinctive indian society, in practice and in name, I shall 
classify ourselves as a people occupied.  anthony.
