Was there no large-scale migration into Goa before Dec 19, 1961? did all the "Goans" come from then? And were all our rulers before then "Goan" too? FN == Response: 1: While what FN says is correct, his statement refers to a tangential point I was not making. 2: I invite FN to concentrate on the phrase 'legally prevent uninhibited migration'.....as in immigration control, which, I submit once again to Arwin, cannot be applied post 1961. 3: I will further add here that, even to (say) the UK and USA, there has large scale migration. But those countries have had and still do have the capability to 'legally prevent uninhibited migration'. jc Earlier I had stated this: BTW: The last day to legally prevent uninhibited migration into Goa was Dec 19, 1961
