----- Original Message ----- From: Prof. Mascarenhas To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [goans_tanzanite] HINDUS , MUSLIMS , CATHOLICS - Indians and Pakistanis too...........are JOINInG us in celebrations. Rene and ALL GOANS From TEXAS: It was heart warming to hear that Catholic, Hindus & Moslems, all joined together to Celebrate GOA DAY in Texas. In East Africa, there is an assumption that Goans are different because they are Catholics. I think Goans are different because there is a remarkable spirit of TOLERANCE ! Perhaps we have learnt something from history. TOLERANCE and respect for other people has to be nourished. We and our foreparents were all created by the same God. I agree entirely with the sentiment that religion should not be used to divide people. Our powerful message will also be a big boost to all Indians and Pakistanis of good will. There are many such people of good will. Congratulations and God Bless You All.
