"primary education should be delivered in one's mother tongue', when the mothers are asking in all desperation " the right to choose between Konkani in the Roman and Devanagari scripts, so that a single dialect is not imposed." Such love for UNESCO!
What part about not imposing of a single dialect is hard for these churls to understand? How can Goan politicians -- on practically ever issue that sustains ones/ Goan person hood and humanity be so tribal, vulgar, and philistine! WTF. What manner of coquetting? Why sustain such dastardliness -- or is it seen as walking the high road. What Kadamba kadambari is this about!? Why the serial pettiness? And who came up with this "balanced" title" 'Don't impose your dialect on me or MINE ON YOU (emphasis mine--vjp).'
