30% Catholics ! All the more to worry about as we will soon be a
displaced community of people who will neither belong in India nor abroad !
Hence my urgent request that we do something about it sooner rather than
later.
Unless of course we are quite happy to have our future belong to either
Hindu or Muslim !
Other communities thru Bollywood have adopted our culture but not our
religion as our Catholic culture is very free spirited. So there
already is some engagement there. We need to give ourselves this last
push to do something to increase the %.
Marketing a product or service brings results. This can also be
extended to our culture both Catholic and being a Goan. Yes if it means
bringing about an awareness to the Hindu Goans about the impact of the
deterioration of Goa - then YES !!!

CATHOLICS ????
Who form less than 30% of the Goan population.
What about the majority of Goans who are Hindu ?
Are we getting Communal here?
Or is it our perception, that a true blooded Goan means a Catholic , as
portrayed in Bollywood movies.
