Everything that I have written in The Last Prabhu regarding the origins
of the Gaunkari system (Comunidade) in Aldona is not unique to my
village of origin and equally applies to all the other comunidades of
Goa. Aldona was settled relatively late during the rule of the Kadambas
by settlers who

I couldn't agree more with Rajan. I have no doubt that Goa's highly

A question to Aires or any Aldoncar or anyone else who could enlighten me:
With regard to the five candidates for Aldona constituency:
54,10, Aldona, DAYANAND G. NARVEKAR, Indian National Congress, Male,
55,10, Aldona, JULIUS PEREIRA, Goa Su-raj Party, Male,
56,10, Aldona, RAVINDRA VASUDEV
Such a defensive / aggressive answer from Floriano to my simple questions shows
insecurity and is a sign of weakness. Additionally, it is a sign of weakness
that the candidate does not answer himself but prefers to hold on to Floriano's
coattails. I wish the candidate good luck!
Aires, could you please suggest a list of the best candidate for each of the 40
contituencies? You have suggested 3, we need another 37. Thanks, Bernardo.

The tragic loss of innocent lives in the bus accident on 18th February is

Dear Valmiki,
What a pleasure to read your article on nicknames. On the topic of modern

new house on our way to Margão to visit you. I am sure you will spot it if
you pass that way - the name is Family Jewel!
