Happy New Year Twenty-Ten

I have no problem with Samir's declaration of being Indian first, then Goan.
However,
My declaration has always been that I am a Goan first and then made into an
Indian in 1961 by an act of WAR.

Subject: [Goanet] Proud to be a Goan, I am an Indian first
Some of those, mainly who have non-Indian citizenship, have questioned the
fact that I am in Bangalore and not in Goa.
My position is very clear --- like Sachin Tendulkar, I am an Indian first;
of course, I am
proud to be a Goan.
Ask any Californian American --- whether they are a Californian first or
an American first.

Samir
