If folks would like to distinguish the two Non Resident Goan groups ... here is a suggestion:
1. NORI-GOANS -> NOn Resident Inner GOANS ('Inner' Goans for geographic closeness to Goa) 2. NORO-GOANS -> NOn Resident Outer GOANS ('Outer' Goans for being very far away from Goa). Just like Inner Planets and Outer planets :) Jim F New York. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Cecil Pinto <cecilpi...@gmail.com> > > Antonio Menezes wrote: > > Non Resident Goans could be classified into two groups. > > The first group consists of Goans who migrated mainly to Mumbai, > thoseworking on boardof ships and cruise liners,and finally Goans who > work in the Gulf Regioni.e. Oman,United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi > Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait. > > The second group of Goans are those residing in the UK, Canada and in > theU.S.> From Goa's economic point of view , the remittances to Goa > from the first group areoverwhelmingly greater than remittances to Goa > from the second group. > > > ------------------------- > > In my humble opinion Antonio has a very valid point .... > ... > ... > There are definitely two different types of Non-Resident Goans.
