The talk presented some misconceptions and wrong facts that circulate about Goa which can be labelled as myths, and have been publicised and disseminated, creating wrong notions about Goa. Some of these write ups are derogatory to Goa and her people. Special focus was laid on the wrong information provided by world famous encyclopaedias, like Encyclopaedia Britanica, Americana, Mankind and others.
