All those who see nothing wrong about parades in Goa which involve the waving of Portuguese flags(my original point). So far the list consists of 1. Selma Carvalho (?) 2. Bernardo Colaco 3. Jose Colaco 4. Marsh Mendonca Those classed by me as "ignorants" are those who think that this has no effect on the way Catholics are percieved in Goa and the rest of India. Make that list up for yourself. If anyone rejects my contention that this flag waving is a sign of confused identity, then please tell my why there are no similar parades taken out by football supporters of Brazil or Argentina of whom there are a similar(or much more) number in Goa. >>A basic democratic right which was denied for centuries >>under the Portuguese continued to be denied by the new rulers who are >>.supposed to have liberated us after 1961 (but "technically" as Fred says >>it >>was a conquest. What a joke!). The real joke is you continuously comparing the rights of Goans under the Portuguese colonial regime with those that EVERY GOAN enjoys today as part of the Indian union, a privilege they were able to enjoy almost two decades before the Portuguese people themselves. If you or anyone provide me a list of CONSTITUTIONAL rights enjoyed by Goans both pre and post liberation, I will shut up. Go ahead... what are you waiting for? Sunith Velho
