re 1: please review the original sentence: Did it say "entire" ladainha
"format? Did the Borges post say that? Why modify the statement which was
challenged without acknowledging the chip on one's shoulder?

re 3: so the ladainha sung by Goans ...was home grown? really? The next
thing I will hear is that the Gregorian chant was also home grown in
'Sokoilo Vaddo' in Velim!

What prejudicial nonsense is this?

ps: I am trying to locate Youtube recordings made before 1498 - to satisfy
the Borges question infra. I have been told that some antique recordings
exist. But what is the use if cybercafe's do not allow access to such media?

1:  I would request JC to inform us whether the entire 'ladainha' format, as
SUNG in Goa existed in Portugal or elsewhere at least a couple of centuries
ago.

2: If yes, then we can be certain that it was brought to Goa by the
Portuguese.

3: Else, I shall have to stick to my original  statement, "it would be a
fallacy to say that Ladainha which is familiar to Goan Catholics was brought
by the Portuguese
