I suppose in this case she could be referred as of Lamani origin just as we read Brit of Asian origin and so on.
However we Goans will regret for HOW TRUE IT IS THAT NOT VERY SOON WE WILL BE OUT OF OUR OWN NATIVE LAND. Visit - Dona Paula (Vaighunim) all North Indians - Fish Market all Malyalees and Kanadis - Vegetable Market all Belgaum - Novelty shops and other Enterprises, most of them non Goans (not even of Lamani origin). - Calangute, no need to mention - Vasco, going gone for dogs Ani ami Goenkar nidhon urle. Uttat Goenkarano ani maruea amcho saad. The Bastads want to re-n ame the streets, I say they should focus on matter as well said/mentioned in previous issues such as: roads, efficient public transports, infrastructure to cleaning and disposing of garbage, water shortage etc. No Ponjekar or Goans have problems with street names. Hel with these who call themselves freedom fighters who have led this tiny state to dogs. Tumchea Modlo, Vasu So, does anybody know who this woman is? It is suspected that she is Lamani and it has been mentioned that some anthropologists define some Lamanis as being indigenous to what is now Goa. Even if that definition is false, with the knowledge that Lamanis have been in Goa for more than 40 years, could it be possible that she was born in Goa and lived there her whole life? Using the definitions I listed above, lets say that some published a picture of one of our London-born/raised Goans with a caption saying "Native of London" and there was an outrage from those of Anglo-Saxon descent saying that this Goan's image was an "insult to the British" that gives a "cheap image of London".
