COMMENT:

Thank you Roland for that referral. The video clip was very interesting and 
informative.

As far as your prediction for Goans is concerned, I believe the process of 
Modification is already at its 'halfway-there' stage. Revisionism will hasten 
the process. The booster stage is due soon.

I am sure that you too accept and support change and the natural assimilation 
with surrounding influences. Every one wins in that process and the product is 
enriched as with Moghlai and some Fusion cooking and Genetic admixture. But 
this medieval tendency to pretend that the past did not exist by destroying it 
and replacing it by what the Revisionists believe 'it should be' is akin to 
enforced Genetic Modification. 

Still, like the Sri Lankan Baila survived and even has prospered despite the 
enforced Bandaranaikization, Goans will survive .....albeit in Cyberspace or in 
Swindon.

Thanks again
