I am not sure what the author has in mind when he uses the word "dominated". Which areas in Goa and rest of India is he referring to? What is the significance of his claim in a secular country, if there is a peaceful demographic redistribution? Mario adds: As the lone voice on Goanet of truth, reason and peace, I am obliged to clarify that the only reason Goa "seemed" to be dominated by Christians is because the place was invaded and occupied and colonized by Portuguese Christians by force for 450 years, until they were kicked out in 1961. The Christians in Goa were the beneficiaries of Portuguese patronage, and some of them were Portuguese lackeys and bootlickers - some to this day as we can see from certain posts on Goanet. As far as I can tell, Christians never exceeded 50% of the population in Goa. --- On Tue, 10/20/09, marcus dsouza <marcusr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It is also interesting to note that is is mainly the Hindus > in India who are getting all jobs in the government/public/private > sectors.

Every Christian I know in India, including those in Hindu-supremacist-dominated MP have good jobs commensurate with their qualifications.
