The Goans deem themselves as a Goan first and a Hindu, Christian or Muslim afterwards. The attachment of language and the Goan individuality are strong enough to allow harmonious coexistence of different religions. Goans are very much aware of this unique identity; they are proud of it and guard it fiercely. Right from the magical beaches to the mystical wildlife sanctuaries, tours to Goa initiate you to a land where the party never ends. In contrast to other parts of India, Goans have developed a remarkable degree of tolerance towards each other's religious beliefs, and hence religious fundamentalism is completely unknown in the state. By nature, Goans are warm, friendly, easy going and large hearted. They live life in style and at a leisurely pace. They are passionate about dance, music and art which is in their blood and they love their food and feni. The Hindu community is dominant in the talukas (districts) of Ponda, Bicholim, Pernem, Satari, Sanguem, Quepem and Canacona. They live life in style and at a leisurely pace. They are passionate about dance, music and art which is in their blood and they love their food and feni. Though they are in a habit of submitting to an afternoon siesta, life usually starts after six in this palm fringed land. With the drooping calls of a cuckoo, and the beats of drums, the whole state embarks on a trance tour. Goans attitude to life is best described by the word Susegad which means taking life at a relaxed pace and enjoy it to the full. This unique philosophy of life originates from the Portuguese word Socegado which literally meant quiet.
