NEW BOOK: 'PATRIOTISM IN ACTION: Goans in Indias Defence Services'
With Foreword

Games and Sports are of secondary or of no importance to our
materialistic and easy going society.

Loved the information.
The need to value the variety of expression in a language eludes many.
Eg. The many words for weights and measures in Goa is no longer in use.
The words that describe rain in all its variety no longer enriches our
expression and the coconut tree no longer means different

Your first statement is true. It would be a good idea to educate our

Perhaps what is not considered is that Goa emerged in 1961 from a
