From: Viviana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
< As a non-Goan married to a Goan, I have to say that, IMHO, Goa is
different from the rest of India in many ways. Sure, Gujurat is different
from Srinigar and they're both different from Chennai, etc., but it is still
true that Goa is different from the rest of India in more pronounced ways
than the other places are different one from another. I don't see how one
can posit that Goa is merely run-of-the-mill different, just like any other
place in India is different from every other place.There is something
uniquely different about Goa.>
Stating the obvious, and stating it very well indeed.
When I read what Fred wrote, I wondered IF Fred was in denial or in the land
of make believe.
In a decade or so (earlier if this garbage situation continues), may be; but
at this moment, "there indeed is something uniquely different about Goa".
As the good Alfredo de Mello would say: IF not for the Portuguese influence,
Goa would be no different than Ratnagiri.
Well said Viviana, and Well said Mario Goveia
