Almost all Goans living in Goa want to be Indians, dictated
by their genetics and their Indian Hindu, Indian Christian and Indian Muslim
culture. They want to migrate to the rest of India for better opportunities as
they have done over the last 500 years. They want to marry Indians from other
states, many of them of other castes and creeds, which is a great blessing from
a genetic standpoint because it leads to the dilution and ultimate elimination
of harmful recessive genes that have wreaked havoc due to inbreeding and
endogamy in Goa over the past several centuries. Cheers,

COMMENT : I was always
under the impression that Christianity was brought to Goa by the Portuguese. So
where does this ‘Indian Christian’ culture come from to all Goan Christians?
Goans wanting to migrate
to other states for better opportunities is very true just as people from other
States like U.P, Bihar, Orissa, etc. migrate to Goa because they DO NOT want
better opportunities.
Goans wanting to marry
Indians from other States is also true. I know of a group who went to ask for
the daughters and sons of Lalu Prasad and that of Mayawati in marriage. But
since they asked for “fodder’ and “white elephants”, our Goans had to return
empty handed. I then suggested them some prominent Harijans from Karnataka and
Dalits from U.P. Our Goan Bahujan samaj government gives big subsidies to such
marriages as they are seized with the fact of the havoc wreaked in the
government due to recessive genes.
