Newspapers of Goa

Once on an official visit to Goa, the then Prime Minister of newly independent India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru remarked about a certain oddity that he noticed among the people of Goa. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on his visit to Goa commented in Indian language Hindi that 'YE GOA KE LOG AJEEB HAIM” plainly translated into English meaning “These people of Goa are Odd”. He said this in reference to the background that Hindu people in Goa were reading their daily dose of newspapers in Marathi Language and speaking their Mother Tongue Konkani at home. Similarly the Catholic people were reading the daily English newspapers and speaking Konkani at home. This confusing oddity made Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru make the above remark.
