[Goanet] anti-Portuguese resolution passed

Re: [Goanet] anti-Portuguese resolution passed
Michael, This is like comparing mangoes and cashews (oops!) The kaxtti (except in a work situation like fishing or farming) was probably more of an undergarment, not the equivalent of a pant. Like true Goans with a hybrid heritage, we should be proud of the kashti. If there's anything to rue it's the fact that nobody seems to be making kashtis anymore. Not even in Goa.

[Goanet] Re- Goanet - anti-Portuguese resolution passed by group in Panjim
Bravo ! While this group is busy passing resolutions, why not pass resolutions banning the English language, English signage, English used in Government offices etc. English used in Parliament, and change all English names including street names, and town names still in use all over India.

(Though one could do a bit of revisionism and claim that all of the above were actually invented in Benaulim or Moira) 5: Reintroduce the Devadasi system 6: Ban cashew, cricket and colacos ( esp those who changed from "citizenship" from that of Bijapur to that of Portugal.) jc

Oh add to that: stop eating chillies, chikoos, pineapple, cashew nuts, potatoes and myriad other fruits introduced by the Portuguese. Ditto to feni drinkers among the Portuguese-haters - drink instead the hooch produced by bootleggers of Mumbai. - Original Message > From: Vivian A.
