Hello Fr. Pratak Naik, Excellent write-up. I am also sending copies to those who are not on this forum. Where are all the Nagrivadis namely Kelekars, Mauzos, Bhembros, Shivdases, Naiks and others? Many of the Nagrivadis who are fighting to dethrone Dalgado Academy had no marbles to fight for the cause of Konkani. We Romivadis showed our guts and determination to fight the huge might of Marathivadis and mergervadis included in them is the present chief minister of Goa, Rane. If Konkani is recognised today and Goa was granted statehood it is only because of the strong fight given by all the Christians and Romivadis. The current crop of Nagri stalwarts are robbing the fruits of the Romivadis by denying them of their rights and previlleges. For this reason I call them Chors who robbed our efforts to gain benefirts for them.
I hope thru this artcile Fr. Prataph Naik will succeed in awakening everyone who is in deep sleep. A.
