I Nasci have never attacked migrants and their cheap culture; never. I have always appreciated your 'sense of humour' too. A thousand flowers should bloom; else it would be a boring world indeed!
What I am resenting in some of my submissions is: the sheer audacity of some people and groups and political parties included in "imposing their view and philosophy of life" on others. These types do not show any tolerence and this is most prevalent in India. There has to be respect and tolerence for all cultures and ways of life; as long as these do not infringe on the fundamental and normal rights of others.
Who the hell are these people to impose 'cow slaughter ban'' when the whole world revels in eating 'Beef'. Beef has been the best meat and tastiest by far for most people. If some groups and individuals do not want that; they are free to do as they like.
But since India is and has been for a long time now, a multi cultural and secular Country; it is incumbent on everyone specially politicians and the like to respect and tolerate all; so much so there should be special servings of pork, beef, mutton and or chicken, snake etc for all to revel in according to their likes, at New Delhi banqets for Indians and foreign guests alike. China does it so also Malaysia, Japan etc. And these are all Asian Countries. No wonder China is one big leap ahead in 'gourmet food. sports and even technology. What a shame. Hindutva wallahs: Stop imposing these "idiosyncracies' on others. The sooner the better.
Hoping all Indians learn to think 'Modern' and not drown in the past 'Abyss' they are just coming out of. Then the country will make real progress in all faculties by leaps and bounds.
I am proud of being a Goan Indian in genes type and culture.

It is interesting that Nasci, Ivor et al who live as immigrants and migrants outside India, choose to engage in questionable attacks against migrants and their "cheap culture".
Vivek in his comments below even seems to rationlize the methods used by exremists like the sh*t sena when he says "each community has a different way of preserving things, what is food for one maybe poison for other". I'm sorry Vivek, but comments like these are an insult to Goans. We do not believe in ethnic cleansing.
It looks like some people, in the blind hatred of non-goans who live in Goa, have chosen to jump the gun about an article that happened to show Rajasthanies selling their wares in the Anjuna flea market. Nasci incorrectly states that the picture was an advert for Goa, when in fact it was simply one of many pictures embedded in an article on Anjuna beach and other places in Goa. As others have asked, please show us any thing in the article that suggested that the Rajasthanies were in fact Goans. If you can't then, you really need to go back and evaluate your attitudes towards people's of other cultures and religions.
