With all due respect Goans from Kuwait didn't help to improve Goan Portuguese konkani at all. They settled with Indianized konkani in which Portuguese words filtered by marathi and in this context contributed to dilution or destruction to konkani of Niz Goenkars.
Goans from kuwait settled less for statehood, and not for Independence of Goa. Goa was a nation colonized by Portugal and later in 1961 by India. Kuwait Goans had no guts to speak vs the reality in which Goans were betrayed. Only Goancauses of USA protected its Goan Heritage culture by telling the world What kind of Goa existed.
All theatrist come to Kuwait their lyrics are written in twisted indianized konkani and not Goan konkani of pre-1961.
Teatrist come to kuwait not in love of konkani but for the love of dinars.
Goans from kuwait have no guts and their contribution for original konkani of pre-1961 is zero.

FOR THE CAUSE OF KONKANI
Two months back I was honoured in Kuwait by a Mangalorean Association “Konkani Kullvar” for my contribution in the promotion and protection of Konkani. The honouring function was organised very majestically where a hall packed audience comprising Mangaloreans, Goans and others attended. The organizers in their speeches praised me fabulously for my fight for the cause of Konkani. They have admitted openly that what I did for the cause of Konkani no other expatriate has done not only in Kuwait but anywhere in the expatriate Konkani World.
