Guys, Relax! I'm appealing to friends at the GoaMusician [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goamusician] network to render Malaika into Konkani. Till that time, FR's very interesting and useful work will be fair game for those wanting to take digs for other reasons :-)

Goanet not being a court of law, I don't feel the need, obviously, to back up my opinions with rock-solid legal evidence :-) Incidentally, the original post was about "identity" and the Anglo Indians, et al. In passing, I made this comment: "Before cyberspace came along in the mid-1990s, things were far more disconnected. Today, at least you have an ex-Africander sitting in Canada writing a book on Konkani music (together with another Goan in Canada, one in Bahamas, and someone in Goa poking fun and asking since when Malaika became a Konkani song, etc)." Why did Mervyn from Canada and JC from the Bahamas feel the need to respond (and, along the way, switch the subjectline to the issue of Malaika)? It only underlines the point I was making! Come on guys, the world out there is bigger than our cyber squabbles and online egos!
