Dear Freddy,
As a young Goan in the 60's I had no choice but be

Hi Bharati Colaco: Sorry to disappoint you, but today there are more
Bharati speakers of English than in the whole of the mother country --
i.e. the United Kingdom, where you sometimes claim to reside.
While we have been obsessed with our backward-looking mentality, a whole
lot of "Bharatis" ha
Dear Fredi,

Hi 'bharati' Bernado: I learnt Hindi and Marathi in the 'seventies in
schools in Goa. My parents' and the earlier generation's attitude was
similar to your's. They felt the languages were being 'imposed' on us.
Some of that sentiment rubbed off onto us. Fortunately *some*.
