Times of India., 23 Dec. Speakers
at a symposium in Goa on “Identity, society and culture:
Goan perspective”, chaired by Maria Aurora Couto expressed
fears that attempts were being made by certain elements to divide
and destroy Goan identity. Udai Bhembre blamed the Portuguese
and the Church. “There will be little or no difference between
the second generation Goan youth of Canada or England and youth
in the Catholic community of Goa in 22nd century”, he said.
Lambert Mascarenhas came down heavily on the Goans settled in
England for “trying to pose as greater than the original
Goan residing on Goan soil.” Dr Budkuley claimed that Goan
identity could soon be a legendary theme in folk memory. 1556
