Mr. Noronha, Do elaborate on what "moral" definition you are alluding to, and for whom? Can the foreign residents presently in Goa claim Goaness? I. Nunes

I think there are diverse viewpoints on this. A.K.Priolkar has an essay of his own on "Who is a Goan" too. As a member of an expat community which has roamed the world and benefitted from belonging to diverse cultures, I am unwilling to accept exclusivist what-is-good-for-me-is-not-good-for-you perspectives.
