Konkani ulloi Konkani About two decades ago, Ramakant Kamat (stage name: Kamat de Assolna) sang and recorded an inspiring number: “Konkani ulloi Konkani – Konkani buroi Konkani”. He also lambasted the then Politicians for harbouring outsiders in govt. jobs at the expense of our own Goan hands. He was so incensed by their irresponsible behaviour that he even ventured to address them as ‘RÉDDÉ’ (a derogatory expression in Konkani). Judging by the current state of affairs, what Kamat forewarned some twenty odd years ago is fast becoming a reality in Goa today. Bennet Paes
