Saligao is in many ways the archetypal Goan village. The history of Goa and the history of Saligao are of course inextricably entwined. But against the larger backdrop, there have been innumerable specific occurrences, incidents and happenings, all contributing towards the making of the distinct entity that is Saligao – similar to the other villages of Goa, yet so different!

how do you account for perfect geomenty of govan paddy fields? Near verna, paddy field bunds run in a straight line for more than 2000 feet! I have further read somewhere that Goan measure of paddy field matches with that of mesapotemia (Iraq). When compared to paddy fields elsewhere in india goan paddy fields look like they are from another planet. So your simple explanation of history in terms of four races does not hold water. Goan history is different, even from pre-colonial days. Did only idias came from Iraq or was there a large poppulation influx?
