Dear Antonio,
The book written by Fr Joseph Vellinkar (he's at St Xavier's College
Bombay), on the origin of Goan village names, makes for an interesting

From the little I remember, the 'lim' ending you mention, is the
abbreviated form of the Sanskrit 'halli', meaning hamlet.

I think the Sonal Shah episode raises a few questions about the nature
of the Indian elites, particularly their opportunism. They are
conservatives/reactionaries back home, but very progressive when it
comes to sitting under the umbrella of diversity and sharing the fruit
of some other culture.
Very good points re: Sonal shah, Marshall.
She has come clean now denouncing the pogrom by VHP. But it could be just
an opportunistic statement because of compulsions.
Should we take her by the words that she is speaking now or not, is the
question.
