Thanks to Francis DeLima, Mervyn Lobo, Mervyn Maciel, Joe Lobo, Tony
Barros, Vivian (Shenzi) and perhaps others that do not come to mind, for
sharing sometimes fascinating information on Zanzibar over the past year, a
major destination for the Goan diaspora in colonial times.

I have read Mervyn Lobo's response to my recent submission with interest.
