Ref below post surely we understand that Goan Identity as evolved as all
other Identities in India or rest of the World.
But surely we appreciate:
(1) All these identities today have basic parameters that shape its identity
e.g. Language, period of ethnicity that shapes a way of life etc
(2) All these identities are takiing measures to preserve the basic
parameters; so why should it be different for Goan Identity?

The Goan identity is keeping on evolving and changing. If you ask someone
from pre-1961 Goa, he might not consider today's Goa to be "Goan" enough! I
wonder what pre-1510 "Goans" thought of the change in identity that took
place then. Ditto for the pre-Parashuram "Goans"!
