The story that has been doing the rounds for centuries now is that the
first Costa settler in India had sailed to the subcontinent in the
company of Vasco da Gama.
But there is also information that the Costas are Brahmins, and so
Indians by origin.

If you ever need an economist's endorsement of the view that Indians are
vocal with their arguments, bank on Amartya Sen. According to Sen, being
argumentative is an asset rather than a liability acquired as a legacy from
India's historical, cultural, racial and religious âheterodoxy'.
Dear Eustace,
I, for one, cannot agree with you. I am fully a Goan[ origin, parentage,
birth, marriage, schooling and career]. I am subscribed to Goanet and often

the world to Goa for medical care. We have two Apollo

Hello Goanetters,
It can also be due to the English speaking culture of Goans. Unlike other
communities, they linger to their mother tongues, like the Sikhs, Keralites,
Tamils irrespective of how many years they have stayed in the foreign land,
but us Goans, adopt English as our lingua Franca,

We demand Our Goa Channel
When I was back home during my annual leave, I had no other option but watch
the DD channel from Mumbai, which dedicates only one hour to us Goans. Goa is

to us like DD Goa, Alpha Goa etc.,

i just wanted to clarify my doubt about the query u had on the term 'pure

To be a force in history (past or present), one needs a community. Even a
solitary achiever or strong leader cannot acheive much and for long without the
backing from number of like minded people. The problem with Goans is that we
have a difficult time with being a LIKE MINDED PEOPLE. Goans
