I agree with what Ana Maria's # 1 & 2 Her # 3 is ambiguous. IF she is "blaming" the sons and daughters of the tradespeople for not carrying on the trade, I agree with the sentiments of Marshall and Barad. IF she is "blaming" us ALL, I agree with her. Those of us who live in the west have to l

I am simply aghast reading such views. Do we want to perpetuate casteism and class. Should not our youth aspire for upward mobility by studying and acquiring professional qualifications and skills? Why should a cook or tailor or cobbler or carpenter’s son not study and become a doctor or lawyer or

Frederick seems to present a false choice - one does not have to chose between two evils: 1. the modern day rape of Goa and the theft and destruction of its mining and real-estate resources. 2. the problems with the historic social tructure of Goa which continues today. Both needed to be addre
