If Goa Is Your Land, Which Are Your Stories? Narrating the Village, Narrating Home*
If Goa is your land, which are your stories? Narrating the Village, Narrating Home* Cielo Griselda Festinoa Abstract Goa, India, is a multicultural community with a broad archive of literary narratives in Konkani, Marathi, English and Portuguese. While Konkani in its Devanagari version, and not in the Roman script, has been Goa’s official language since 1987, there are many other narratives in Marathi, the neighbor state of Maharashtra, in Portuguese, legacy of the Portuguese presence in Goa since 1510 to 1961, and English, result of the British colonization of India until 1947. This situation already reveals that there is a relationship among these languages and cultures that at times is highly conflictive at a political, cultural and historical level. In turn, they are not separate units but are profoundly interrelated in the sense that histories told in one language are complemented or contested when narrated in the other languages of Goa. One way to relate them in a meaningful dialogue is through a common metaphor that, at one level, will help us expand our knowledge of the points in common and cultural and * This paper was carried out as part of literary differences among them all. In this article, the common the FAPESP thematic metaphor to better visualize the complex literary tradition from project "Pensando Goa" (proc. 2014/15657-8). The Goa will be that of the village since it is central to the social opinions, hypotheses structure not only of Goa but of India. Therefore, it is always and conclusions or recommendations present in the many Goan literary narratives in the different expressed herein are languages though from perspectives that both complement my sole responsibility and do not necessarily and contradict each other.

India – Goa – Evangelical Christians – Shiv Sena – RSS – Jamat-E-Islami
Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: IND31233 Country: India Date: 2 February 2007 Keywords: India – Goa – Evangelical Christians – Shiv Sena – RSS – Jamat-e-Islami This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. What is the activity of the Bajrang Dal, Jamaat -E-Islam, Rashtriya Swayam Sevak and Shiv Sena against evangelical Christians in Goa? 2. What difficulties do evangelical Christians face in Goa? 3. Would the police in Goa condone and/or be involved in discrimination / persecution against evangelical Christians in Goa by these groups? RESPONSE 1. What is the activity of the above mentioned four groups against evangelical Christians in Goa? 2. What difficulties do evangelical Christians face in Goa? 3. Would the police in Goa condone and/or be involved in discrimination / persecution against evangelical Christians in Goa by these groups? The state of Goa has a significant Christian population. According to the 2001 India census, Goa has a Christian population of 359,568 on a total population of 1,347,668 (there are 886,551 Hindus and 92,210 Muslims). Christianity, and the Catholic Church in particular, has played a significant role in Goa’s history and since Goa’s 1962 integration into the Indian Union this has continued to be the case. Studies of the Goan Christian identity, such as Dr Charles Borges’ 2000 study, tend to emphasize the inclusion and participation of the Christian population in Goa’s social and political life (‘Population by religious communities’ (undated), Census of India website http://demotemp257.nic.in/httpdoc/Census_Data_2001/Census_data_finder/C_Series/Populat ion_by_religious_communities.htm – Accessed 31 January 2007 – Attachment 24; Borges, C.
