Roland Francis: This batch of Sindhis decided to go to Goa which was European ruled and where they felt they had a better future. It took only a short time to realize their limited opportunities there and the competition they faced from the existing small Ismaili business community who were looked on kindly by the Portuguese administration. Not that they were afraid of competition - their success in Bombay and Delhi against odds proved that, but they desired greener pastures and they saw that the Portuguese were colonial, not business minded like them. Response: That was a very informative post. Could you kindly provide the source or weblinks so that we can read more? Thank you.
