Fr. Almeida,
No worthwhile objective is achieved by having any script as mandatory for Konkani.
For scientific reasons & owing to universality I advocate Roman Script & this is simpler too. Let Konkani dialects & literature be a flower garden. It shall survive & flourish. Let none of us try to convert it into a commercial plantation. It is bound to fail. Devided into 23 communities about 70 dialects. 3 religions where attempt of standardisation will lead?
Please PNDER!!! ????
