[Goanet]Re: INSULT TO GOANS

[Nasci Caldeira]

The alleged picture of the Rajastani dress woman in the Ad for Goa is off 
the top; but I would not say it is an insult to Goans.  The woman or any 
other persons depicted should have had some Goan Costumes and or 
contemporary styles of dress; this should have been in the main, with the 
Rajastani shown as one of other Indians also visiting in Goa.
Imagine Rajastani Tour Ad showing Goan woman and man in suit and tie! they 
would have revolted surely. Keep it up, Goans; we must fight this backdoor 
intrusion into our culture which is Indian subculture but very distinct 
indeed! I would think typical: Goan in dhoti and western jacket; or suit and 
tie; and woman in Kapod and or sari and or dress/ blouse/ skirt etc. these 
can all be typically Goan, but not the Rajastani.

St Marlon talks about drunks and Bollywood! In my time in Bombay not Mumbai, 
I have had the chance to 'tell off' some of these Bollywood producers; that 
they are wrongly depicting not Goan per se, but a Christian as drunk and 
happy go lucky, as in Amar Akbar Anthony.; also that they are depicting the 
drunk as a genuine remorse and rightly aggressive; anstead of using the 
power of this media to show the evil side of drunkenness and how the better 
way to go would be to drink responsibly and socially.

My motto which I practice: I like to enjoy my drink; but I will not allow 
the drink to 'enjoy me'. Never!
