Hi Herman, The Land to the Tiller was enacted by the divisive, communal and sectarian government in power called the Maharastrawadi Gomantak Party. They were in power for about 17 years and made every attempt to destroy the Goan catholics. The Act legislated by them is only one example. If today Goans Catholics and Hindus are divided is because of this government. But if not for the Goan catholic contribution today via remmitance from the Gulf, Goa would be an other fishing village like Deogad.
