Hey Roland, Goans in Bombay or Mumbai or anywhere else are not asking for Konkni to be one of the 'State' Languages, nor are they asking for Konkni as MOI. We Goans do not 'make slums' in other places; we help each other and build Community clubs like KUDDS etc. for those who can't make it on their own. Most importantly We Goans Assimilate!! Goans, Catholics and Hindus are in Bombay when it was a 'Province ' under the Raj; and are an important part of Bombay's growing up and social and cultural and political life. Bombay became part of Maharastrah only after thr re organisation of states; and Gujarat that was part of Bombay Province became another state. Lets not go there; there is so much history that I have lived through! Catholic Goans have No Segregation and Apartheid; in eating and living spaces! About Bombay becoming Separate from Maharashtra is another issue altogether! Roland, It makes no sense putting different varied issues under one 'Goan only' topic and in response to my post! Will U desist form this! An Everyone has views and opinions; let us not put these in one basket; then all become 'rotten' to the lowest common denominator. Do not air your and others views in response to my posting and make it look like mine, OK? See ya! Nascy Caldeira

We have no place for these underdeveloped un-enlightened trouble makers, who want to govern only for their kind from Goa and not for the real Goans. Riposte: Nascy, are you willing to have in retaliation all the Goans in Maharastra deported to Goa so that they can earn 5,000 rupees a month in the same job that probably pays them 50,000 a month in Bombay? Why don't you take the fight to Bombay and persuade Bal Thackeray to allow the city to become politically independent of Maharashtra since it is the economic engine of the country, is cosmopolitan and should justifiably belong to all Indians rather than to Maharashtra alone? Let Parrikar and the BJP alone. Only they can save India, not Manmohan or Sonia's Congress. I would go one step further and ask the entire Catholic community in Goa to join the BJP. That is the best way to prevent their communalistic tendency and to and remove the mats from under the feet of Catholic criminal politicians like Churchill, Monserrate, Pacheco, Victoria and their like who the community tends to tolerate because they are Catholic. I have heard Catholic voters comment that they require people like Churchill to counter people like Narvekar and Ravi Naik. Such is the logic of people who think they are Catholic, Hindus and Muslims before they think of themselves as Indians. Roland. Toronto.
