We shall await for the kingdom of Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Ceylon in hope.
BC Pedro: 1. Who spoke about ‘Indian identity’??? By the way, just for your information, while you may be correct that the present India is only 65 odd years old, the nation existed for centuries in the form of small kingdoms, and it has always encompassed Goa. The present day India as we all know it, is the creation of the British on their departure from the Indian subcontinent. 2. Goans have to accept India’s laws in Goa because of the following reasons: i. Portugal gave up it’s rights to it’s former territory of Estado do India which included Goa, to the present Government of India. In other words, Portugal dumped Goa straight into the hands of India. ii. True Goans love Konkani as their mother tongue and will always fight tooth and nail for Konkani, not Marathi. I for one, am proud to state that Konkani is my beloved mother tongue. There is no way in hell (if you believe in that place) that Goa will ever be an independent nation like East Timor etc. Wake up, your slumber is over, and it is time to accept the reality of the situation. Instead of living a life of hope in dreams, Goans should roll up their sleeves and work for the betterment of their state. Personally, I would be very happy for Goa to be a Portuguese state, but unfortunately, there is nothing that anyone can do about it’s present status and situation. Do you know what these words mean, and I quote: “umtea kowshear udok” They sum it all so well. 3. Do you have any more queries?

How can one say I'm a GOAN, but love my indian identity? Goa is now 500+ years old and India only 65 odd years. If one says he is a GOAN then why does he accepts Indian law in GOA? If one is a GOAN then why does he like a prick fight for marathi as a state language? Rajesh can you answer my queries? Pedro Lopes
