Goa house on the cobbled streets near the River Tagus. 2. A small library of the Govt of Portugal further down the street dedicated to Goa-Portugal relations. Many of the original documents may have been moved to the University of Lisbonne, up the road & near the Edward VII monument, which was the intent. Many of Salazar period documentation is also at the U of Goa. I have spent time at all 3 locations, almost 3 months in Lisbonne in the libraries there. Most documents are in Portuguese, many in English. There has been a translation project in place. Relatively crude internet translations are available in Portugal & Europe as documents become fully available online with a university library card, or international library card at cost. I can access from Montreal. Browse Portugal websites, & e-mail libraries for info re. resources available online. Visiting in person makes a huge difference, tho Portugal has become expensive. My interests have moved away from this topic. There r issues re. Nehru’s intervention, the paratroopers inexplicably dropped at midnight around the Cathedral of Dom Jesu, & the claim that Salazar wanted to move SFX’s body to Portugal. He gave 3 orders to the last Governor of Goa, including that. A WW1 hero, the Portuguese General refused to do all 3. He passed away decades later at over 90. I met him in Lisbonne at a meeting he attended. Kind gentleman. When India & Portugal reinstated diplomatic relations, the Goa delegation asked that the General’s WW1 medals be reinstated, & he be given full honours for how he handled the last days. That was done as part of the agreements, & new cultural ties. I am sure Frederick Noronha is aware of the above, as he is a meticulous researcher from Saligao, which has given Goa a large share of its intellectuals. I have been to his house on the main road. Whenever I visit Goa, a trip to the Saligao Church from Calangute (my grandma on my mum’s side is from Gauravaddo) is always on my ‘itinerary’. ☮️🌻🙏🏽 - Ivan D. Ivan D.

John Menezes' book, mentioned recently in these columns, gives some insight into the less-noticed and unpublicised diplomacy underway between New Delhi and Lisbon, especially between the 1940s and the 1960s. For obvious reasons, this is a little-studied area, and in each place the formal version has long held sway.

Earlier today I came across this site which seemed to be quite informative but lacked any sources. I apologize if anyone has posted this before, but would any of you be able to 1) verify the accuracy of this brief or point me to credible sources 2) suggest a repository of all things related to the history of Goa?
