Hi Selma, Are you sure you're not falling into the trap of those who want us to believe that our religious identities are the most important aspects, and that "minorities" don't belong? Such a logic doesn't work for too long, as election results have repeatedly shown. Even Pakistan is paying the price of religious intolerance and extremism. FN

Sadly, I urge you to go to the nearest embassy you can find, whether Canada, Portugal or New Zealand and apply for citizenship. Don't let the fear of the West keep you for applying. You are already bi-cultural. Your children's transition to a Western culture will be fluid. It is the best thing for your children's safety. I write this with all sadnes for my beloved Goa and Goans.
