Last week I learnt that the Goans in the Uk were housekeepers. This week, I am learning that the American Thanksgiving is celebrated in Goa as the Ladin.
Writes Gayatri Sankar "Indian’s lifestyle and culture have had a great influence from the West and Thanksgiving Day is one such custom which is quite popular. The state of Goa, which has a thick population of Christians, celebrates the festival with great pomp and show. The Goans have named the day as ‘Ladin’ or ‘Ladainha’. ‘Ladin’ means a litany to the Virgin Mary. " http://spicezee.zeenews.com/articles/story76094.htm Am I crazy or is this just plain wrong?
