Goa's history cannot be erased. As English is claimed to be a foreign language and therefore needs to go unaided in primary education, the contradiction of aiding it from high school cannot be understood. But when it came to defending the seperate status for Goa, it was the Portuguese/English primary educated Goans that were more far-sighted and saved Goa. Those who had a primary education in Bharati Bhasha joinned the chorus to wipe out Goan identity by dumping it in maharashtra. When it came to giving konkani language its due place it was the Portuguese and English primary educated that stood up to defend the language and ensure it receives an official status. The Bharati Bhasha educated cried for a Maharashtra language to be dumped on Goans as the Official language. So here we are, Portuguese and English primary education has ensured more patriotism than the Bharati Bhasha primary education. Can BBSM deny this fact?
