of Palolem, as I'm searching for the perfect Goan beach

missionaries encouraged Goans to escape the life-determining
confines of the Hindu caste system, often baptising them
a few hundred at a time and giving them all the same surname.
This explains why everybody seems to be called Fernandes,

Casual Sex: it's risky but so tempting.

RECENT ITEMS OF PARTICULAR
INTEREST ON GOANET. BY CORNEL DACOSTA
The Football World Cup tournament has unsurprisingly generated
many posts on Goanet. One line of thought asked why India
does not produce footballers of the calibre of many small
nations as represented by this year's tournament? The responses
have been varied including the lament that football crazy
Goa is not entitled to send a team. Others have claimed
that, India has excelled in field hockey many times and
should concentrate on this game rather than football. GV(UK)
readers are invited to provide their views on this and other
matters.
Is there something called "a rock solid Christian moral
code?" Discussion on this theme has been ongoing for
some time but there are some new considerations currently
being examined in this controversial theme.
There is much on Goanet about the Konkani stage in Goa and
elsewhere. An unusual performance as a disabled girl by
Rosy Alvares in Mario Menezes' tiatr receives many plaudits
and is definitely worth finding out much more about it.
Whether pupils should wear school uniforms or not is an
ongoing controversy the world over. Now, Goa seems to be
gripped by this issue but with an unusual twist. Tension
has emerged between those who seem happy with Indian attire
and those wanting western attire in schools.
Domnic Fernandes presents an insight into life in the 1950s
and 1960s in his excellent piece on the Cuckoo. This time,
Domnic has been good enough to present his material in Konkani
but with an English translation. Clearly, this is helpful
when a command of Konkani may not be that sound among some
GV (UK) readers.
Finally, do read a scholarly article by Priyamvada Gopal
of Cambridge University. Apart from Goanet, this article
has appeared in several sources and is well worth reading
for much thought about revisionist British Imperial history.
The title of her essay is "Imperial apologists peddle
poisonous fairy tale." Readers' comments on this piece
would be very welcome to Goanet administration.
