When I was studying in Loyola High School in Margao we were compelled to speak in English all the time. But during Hindi period we were explained and compelled to speak in Hindi. While during Konkani class we were asked to speak and also we were enlightened in Konkani.
I feel that was the very best practice adopted. There is nothing shocking in such practice. What is more shocking is shifting topic or subject line to different direction(s) OR is it done with the intention of inflaming Goans on Konkani issue? I leave this issue to Goa net members to judge.
