If I am not mistaken, Dr. JC Almeida did his doctorate in Lisbon at the Instituto T�cnico, and returned to Goa just in time to be integrated into the Indian Administrative Service. I do not know how he got himself recognised in the IAS, but I have known him as a very intelligent and efficient administrator. His published study of Goan village communities is an excellent piece of research.
Eduardo Shivaji Faleiro had also part of his education in Lisbon? He too got himself marvellously integrated in the Indian politics at the highest levels (though not through IAS). Last I met Eduardo Faleiro was in Lisbon in 1998 in official representation of the Government of India. Both proved themselves to be perfectly at ease in the two worlds. ------------------ From: "domnic fernandes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2004 11:58:53 +0300 Subject: [Goanet]GOANS IN THE IAS!
