Dear Socialist preacher & Capitalist publisher-freelancer, FN While you and the Communist-Capitalist can debate each other in your mutually identical debating-sniping styles, I am quite certain of the following: a: Your attempts to re-propagate the alleged (selective) but pompously self-named Goa Research Net .....are appreciated. b: Why should/would any reasonable person be surprised with the DNA of any Goan or any Indian for that matter? Is it that "we" are unaware of what DNA of the "Indian" comprises of. c: Am not surprised that you chose the DNA info provided by a single person (VM in this case) - instead of referring us to the very large DNA studies which have been conducted or even that fairly large Chitpavan DNA project conducted by Dr Jagannath Dixit. You do have a penchant (do you not) of focusing on an irrelevant twig and missing the forest? d: I'd add here that a review of Goan history ( + the archives of the Communidade of Carambolim) would reveal an interesting history wrt circa 1500s "Goa". Divar and its rich history of genetic input ....should not come as a surprise to anybody - even to those who claim to be conducting "research"! jc
