I know my ancestors were Hindu Saraswat Brahmins, migrated from the banks of the Saraswat river, that does not exist anymore. The only true or rather original Goans were the tribes of Kunbis,Gowdas and the Velips, who are now teated as backward classes by us, the so called Goans. A typical case of the so called Australians trying to civilize the Aborigines. Do that get so emotional. Emotions lead to negative energy. We are belong to one race -- Humanity. Peace be with you all, because all these ghantis you call , which is racial in itself, for all of us are Indians, clean your streets in Goa, sell your vegetables, do all your plumbing, do all your carpentary, clean your septic tanks, etc. etc. etc. so where are all the Goans? without them Goans would have been on their feet. God bless you all. Note: Forwarded message attached -- Original Message -- From: Bernado Colaco ole_...@yahoo.co.uk To: goanet@lists.goanet.org Subject: [Goanet] Goodbye Goans ahoy ghantis
