Just because "a large number of GCs (Goan Catholics) do not read Konkani in any script, does it imply they should have no preference about the dialect and script (i) which is used to teach their children this language in schools (ii) which is accepted as "official" in contemporary Goa (iii) which is used to judge their efficiency in the language when they sit bofore an interview panel for a government job?
