Re: [Goanet] let us call a spade a spade!
AF raises some important questions. We always think that *we* and not The Other is more Goan! And we fail to recognise the diversity within a Goa. Ironically, all (or most) groups here tend to do the same and be exclusivist!

Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:36:51 -0400 From: "AF" well, well..., i gather i am not the only one confused about what is a goan!. specifically, is a catholic goan more of a goan than a hindu or muslim goan? is a pro-portuguese goan more a goan? is a blue-blooded supporter of the original UGP a true goan? Is is konkanim or is in konkanee? is it pedro, anton, rosa, piedede rather than vijay, babush, narender, is it a football lover or is it a cricketer?. Mario responds: I don't know about anyone else, but your comments prove that you are thoroughly confused about what is a Goan, because every one of the people you mentioned could also be a Goan.

well, well..., i gather i am not the only one confused about what is a goan!. specifically, is a catholic goan more of a goan than a hindu or muslim goan? is a pro-portuguese goan more a goan? is a blue-blooded supporter of the original UGP a true goan? Is is konkanim or is in konkanee? is it pedro, anton, rosa, piedede rather than vijay, babush, narender, is it a football lover or is it a cricketer?. i have my own answers. what is yours? by a goan, i mean a GOAN every sense of the word, from our forefathers to our children. the way we were and the way you think we will go!!. anthony iamgoan.
