Hi Everyone, We should keep the name of our Golden GOA as it is. When the foreign multinationals in Bangalore get confused between Bengal and Bengalooru, the Karnataka Guys will realize the mistake they have made. Throughout its history*, Goa has been known as Gomantachala, Gopakapattna, Govapuri, Govarashtra, Gova and Goa". Imagine confusing our Golden Goa with the lawless capital of the lawless state of Bihar if Gopakapattana was adopted - Whats Next ? Electing Laloo Prasad Yadav as our Chief Minister ? We have already got his friends- Goan Gaon Goon Churchill Alemao as MP and Mickey Pacheco as MLA and they are making a Gaan of the place ! We should crucify the guys who even suggest or attempt to change the name of our state !.
