Every East African Goan I meet and interview is extremely articulate, well
mannered, successful, educated, hard-working, devoted and loyal. They loved
Africa deeply (yes perhaps it was Colonial Africa they loved but Africa
nonetheless).
I frankly don't know if the factors that contrived to create East African Goan
society will ever be replicated elsewhere in adopted lands but that they did in
Colonial East Africa is a reality. To produce a type of society that is so
unique is something we have to celebrate. They influenced Goan society in ways
that have not yet been thoroughly investigated.
If they have not received any commemoration in Goa and if there are no statutes
or museums that talk of their journey, then thank God, they have by way of the
British Empire.
Best,
selma
