In fact some of us agreed with Bruto da Costa's ideas, even before things got sour. Unfortunately not enough people did it...

From: "Edgar Valles" <[email protected]>Antonio Bruto da Costa and a quite large group of goans wanted a "terceira via" (third path). This is the title of the book his son, Mario Bruto do Costa published.They didn't want Goa to stay as a Portuguese colony but they also didn't want to be integrated in India, saying that goans had their own identity.They thought it was possible a third path and also that Portugal should allow goans to decide what they wanted.He has sent letters to Salazar and had many problems with Portuguese authorities.Of course, it was a dream, considering the historical situation of Goa, a tiny territory encircled by India...But it is interesting for those who study decolonization to know that there was this third path....Aviso de Confidencialidade

Eugene Correia <[email protected]> escreveu no dia segunda, 11/12/2023 à(s) 23:09:Hi all,It's nice to remember A.A. Bruto da Costa and his thoughts on why he felt it was a "tragi-comedy". I read it many years ago, and have forgotten the gist of it now. I would like to read it again, but my copy is all in tatters. Revisiting those heady days of the pre-Liberation/Annexation period and the post-Liberation/Annexation passage of time. I have no experience of those days when Goa was on the boil.As for Selma's remarks, let me say that I visited Goa just for three weeks to a month during my school and college days. During my working period in Bombay, I made trips to Goa for a week or so. The only time I was there for a long time was when I went for the National Football Championships -- Santosh Trophy. -- hosted by Goa, as I did some reporting. I visited very rarely. Though i am from Colva and we had a house, which is land-grabbed by a notorious guy who was a panch, we went to our mom's house in Bogmalo.I wish someone could scan the play by Bruto da Costa and make it available to those who want to read it. Margao had its own crowd which fancied the Portuguese.EugeneOn Mon, Dec 11, 2023 at 9:03 AM 'Helder Garmes' via Goa-Research-Net <[email protected]> wrote:Dear Eugene Correia,I know the letter to Nehru was published in Portuguese in the book Goa: Terceira Corrente - discursos, artigos, cartas e defesas forenses (2013), by Bruto da Costa.Best,HelderEm seg., 11 de dez. de 2023 às 08:51, sandra lobo <[email protected]> escreveu:Bruto da Costa was a lawyer, journalist and politician who defended the right of Goan people to decide their own political future

Assunto: Re: [GRN] PamphletsI saw in my small collection, a tattered copy of Yesterday, Today and... Tomorrow, A Tragicomedy in Three Acts and Twelve Scenes, by A.A Bruto da Costa, and I suppose he was a Doctor, perhaps a medical doctor. It was published in 1963.However, I post here to know if anyone has a copy, for the first page of mine is tattered and the cover-page and inside page is unreadable. If some has the play, I wish to get a copy of the cover and inside pages. I read it decades ago, and since the Goa Liberation anniversary is coming up, I wish to quote from it. I am not very sure know if the play was an attempt at India's takeover of Goa and what the future holds or was it predicting a "tragicomedy", as Bruto da Costa envisaged Goa would become in later years.I know he addressed a Letter to Nehru, but don't know where I could locate it. Does anyone know if it's in the Goa University Library or elsewhere?Also re-reading, Goan Struggle for Freedom by M.K. Gandhi, published by Navajivan Publishing House. Recollecting Liberation and the glow of freedom. Where has Goa gone?Eugene CorreiaEugene CorreiaOn Wed, Dec 6, 2023 at 10:04 AM V M <[email protected]> wrote:Dear Frederick,Thank you very much for that German resource on Swahili - it turns out the first known written literature in that language was found in Goa! Amazing fact. I will examine closely for more places to look.About the avid embrace of English language education by Goans in Goa from the first decades of the 19th century, yes it is true it happened first in the Bardez villages where the majority of educated men went off to work in British India (and later to Persia, Aden, East Africa and Singapore as well). But by the 20th century, it was routine for all families of means to send their children to study in boarding schools across the border in Belgaum, Pune and much farther afield as well.It has always fascinated me how disproportionately the Goans were represented from the beginning of college education "for natives" in Bombay - the first class at Grant Medical College was half Goans!Warm regards,VMOn Wed, 6 Dec 2023, 02:06 fredericknoronha, <[email protected]> wrote:On Tuesday 5 December 2023 at 19:08:55 UTC+5:30 vmingoa wrote:Goans in Goa pursued English language education with much alacrity from the second half of the 19th century. Few peoples anywhere - but especially the subcontinent - have ever embraced English so enthusiastically as the Goans. There's no question of imposition but merely access to opportunity, and Portuguese lost out for very good reasons.Would you see this as happening uniformly across Goa or in some pockets (such as parts of Bardez, and among the daispora in the then English-ruled regions)?Elsewhere, of course, like all other Indians in their transnational dispersal, Goans have adopted and mastered a wide range of languages.I have been looking for Goan writing in Swahili. There must be some. If anyone has references, please share.Check this an example here:FN--
