Dear Dominic
The issue is not naming the day. Now that Marathi is being proposed as an
official language of
Goa, I can forsee someone suggesting the name as World Goa/Konkani Day/Marathi
Day or Goa Language
Day. Then non-vegetarians may want it named after their eating habits, then
the vegans, etc. The
real issue is what should Goans DO to celebrate. I am afraid in this respect,
most Goans prefer
words to action.
Regards,
George
