1. Are you sure Prof. Arthur Rubinoff is around? 2. Goa's Who's Who of Freedom
Fighters is a Goa Gazeteers Dept book, produced when PP Shirodkar (Jr.) was
Director of Archives (concurrently of Gazeteers). A few copies are still
available at the Goa Gazeteers Dept at Junta House, Panjim -- at ridiculously
low prices fixed in the 1980s. I have cited from both volumes. 3. See the
select bibliography in my book.Trust this helps.Best, v

The freedom/annexation/liberation issue with regards to Goa is complex. For
people who are interested in pro-Portuguese stance, there is at least one good
book by the former consul-general of the Portuguese in Bombay. Just this
morning I picked up Goa's Freedom Struggle by Dr. Juliao Menezes as I want to
check some things that Dr. Shusila Mendes mentioned in her piece in OHeraldo. I
also have the pamphlet, The Goa Action, by D. R. Nakekar, and would sought out
some details which I need.I was informed by a friend of a Toronto university
giving chance to seniors who will to do their Ph.D. I thought of it, and tried
to find a guide. Unfortunately, Prof. Arthur Rubinoff, author of India's Use of
Force in Goa, suffered from some heart ailments, as his wife, Prof. Janet,
informed me. I hope to approach him now, or ask him if he knows any professor
who would be willing to be my guide.I was also bit taken aback because of my
age. I don't know what benefit it would serve me, as it would take lot of time
and effort. However, the subject appeals to me. I don't have Valmiki's earlier
book and I forgot to check it up during my visit to Goa this year. Any
suggestions of books regarding this subject is welcome, and for which I would
be grateful. I have Gaitonde's and Rajan Narayan's books. Also PP Shirodkar's
Who's Who of Freedom Fighters.

Thank you, Pamela.Yes, nationalisms come in various forms. In the case of Goa,
the point has been discussed ... for instance that Goa was taken in 1510
because one party had the power to subdue the other. It was the same in 1961.
One party had the power to subdue the other. I have brought these points to the
attention of the reader (very often as quotes). You will surely agree that it
would be beyond the scope of the book to discuss the points. That I feel is for
the readers to do.Thanks much.Best, v

Hi Valmiki,
Congratulations. Am in awe of your research, ferreting information and piecing
together the story, as only a journalist can. Can't wait to read the book.About
the other issues that were thrown up in the discussions though, I am not so
sure if the prism of colonialisms and nationalisms and such binaries, still
holds some sixty or so years later. Many nationalisms have demonstrated their
own sub-colonialisms in this time. But that's another debate.
Good luck with the book. And thanks for what is undoubtedly an invaluable
contribution.Pamela

information you manage to ferret out-- never ceases to amaze me. Very glad the
book is ready.

Thank you, Roland.You never fail to inspire smiles in whatever you write.There
were actually four camps (not two) as I have clearly elucidated -- and as you
correctly point out in parenthesis, none was exclusive to any particular caste
or creed, as is widely, and erroneously, believed.My father was educated in
Bombay (school, college and medical studies). He was a doc in the Indian Army
Medical Corps (now Defence Medical Corps) but I was born and bred in Goa -- and
assure you that though I hold the Indian defence forces in much esteem, the
fact of my father has not slanted or jaundiced my view. But may I hasten to
add, as I think poet Milton said, 'better to reign in hell than serve in
heaven'. No one likes to be under the domination of a foreign power, save when
one stands to benefit socially, economically, or in other ways. Please do read
what Msgr Estevam Jeremias Mascarenhas, an elected Goan 'deputado' native of
Bastora, Bardez, told the Lisbon parliament on 24 May 1853, in the book. Much
before, Propaganda Fide appointed bishop, Mateus Castro Mahale, had put his
thoughts on this into action. I have cited several such instances, both of the
Goan clergy and civilian.I also speak of anachronism, though in a different
context.I quote about a dozen Portuguese authors, civil and military (besides,
of course, 130+ authors from Goa, a few from India, but most international).
Strictly speaking, this is NOT research work that delves into primary sources
but more in my journalistic style of piecing together a story.I hope you will
not be disappointed, and would love your thoughts on it (here or
privately).Thanks again, best, v

Goa before the 1961 Indian military action leading to the expelling of
Portuguese rule, saw a division of the population into two camps (non
religious, non caste). One favoured the continuation of Portuguese, the other
did not.
Valmiki’s book, going by the title, will express the views of the latter
section. After all Valmiki’s father was a British Army (rather than Portuguese
Army) commissioned officer in the medical branch and therefore heir to
pro-India sentiments. What we also need side by side is a Goa centric pro
Portuguese view taking a modern stance on the matter and looking in hindsight
as Valmiki probably does, so we can balance the two views. There are a few such
books but written by die-hard Portuguese speaking Goans whose views would be
probably anachronistic.
Having said that, I look forward as enthusiastically to read this latest book
as I have all Valmiki’s previous writings.
