Rest assured that I had not heard of Faleiro till he decided to
recognize Goans who had distinguished themselves overseas with
awards.
RESPONSE: Why am I not surprised..... :-)
When the first convention started, the current NRI Commissioner
publicly threw out two people who were attending the convention.
RESPONSE: The first convention was organized by Aires Rodrigues in Dec
2000. How could the current NRI Commissioner throw people out who were
attending the convention.
This was one of the better conventions and it was here that three papers
were presented:
Santosh Helekar's Kindling the spirit of inquiry in the New Millenium
Dilip R. Sanvordeker's Goan heritage and its influence on child
development in the Western soceity
Teotonio R. de Souza's GOAN IDENTITY : One, many or none
So please be forthcoming with accurate information related to your
assertions above.
The video is on You-Tube. Hey! I would not be surprised if you
suggested that they too must have had prior issues with Faleiro.
RESPONSE: I would rather read a report on the issue from a neutral
observer than go along with anything on YouTube. I believe JoeGoaUK
provided good reports from the front row of the convention.
The NRI Commissioner then went on to arrest Aires at the convention.
RESPONSE: I believe only Aires and you claim Aires was arrested at a
Goan convention. I do not recollect any news reports concurring with
your assertion.
Do you see a pattern here?
RESPONSE: I do. Its called distortion. So how about some facts for a
change, eh!!
This personal vendetta.......let it go..........
