Roland writes (message 5, Vol 6, Issue 920):: ''What I would like to know is how Wendell Rodrigues got into a mining discussion with Digamber Kamat on a public forum. Did Claude Alvares or Carmen Miranda decline?
Or in Goa is iron ore mining somehow equated with female fashion design.'' Rose Fernandes responds: Roland, I am not sure if anyone has come back to you on this. Having watched the programme myself, Wendell was interviewed on it in his capacity as ''Environmental Activist'' and not as a fashion designer. I am sorry I cannot answer your question as to whether Claude Alvares or Carmen Miranda were invited on this panel. Rose Fernandes Thornton Heath, Surrey, United Kingdom 29 September 2011
