[Goanet] Dev Borem Korum

[Domnic Fernandes]

Prior to 1510, Goa was governed by different rulers, including Muslims. 
The Portuguese took over Goa from the Muslims. Islam uses the word 
'Allah' (God) quite frequently. They, too, invoke God's name while 
thanking - 'Barak Allah-hu fik'. So, it's possible that we inherited 
'Dev Borem korum' from our previous occupiers, the Muslims.
