<<<RESPONSE: By George! Perhaps only one, may be two have have stated thus - We are not special - we should put a direct train from U.P. to Goa, to show our solidarity: what says you? Actions speak louder than words, or perhaps not. Ami soglem ek. GABE MENEZES
Arre Baba Gabe, our History Prof. from Moira, Teotonio asserts that most Goans [at least the asli type, not the imports from "other" India] settled in hordes after their long march from U.P., Bihar and so on. So isn't it time to have some decent "reverse migration"? Imagine us clad in minimalistic ethnic costume chewing pan and sipping mahua in a small shack in a mohalla in some nagar and racking our brains trying to find the ways and means to dominate the local labour market? And relish being called 'ghantis'? And sprout with pride, we are bloody ghantis? -- "Tony de Sa" < tonydesa at gmail dot com>
