[Goanet]The controversial VCD on Goa

[Sachin Phadte]

We have had a good discussion on the above subject.  I was talking about  
this to a friend of mine, and he said that he remembered that some time  ago 
the Govt of Goa had brought out a book with a longish article by TB  Cunha 
on a topic somewhat linked to the subject.  He said that he will  try and 
find out if he can send me a copy.  He was able to do so, and I  had a 
chance to read it over the Republic Day.  It seems to me that at  least on 
the subject of use of religion by the Portuguese to harass the  Hindus and 
try to force their conversion is correct.

The title of the article is "Denationalisation of Goans", and the  various 
sections in the article are titled as follows:

Albuquerques's "Tolerance"
Albuquerques's Racialism
St Francis Xavier revealed by his letters
Mass conversion by force
Racial and sectarian policy since Pombal
Denationalisation of customs
Cultural denationalisation
The aping culture
Politico-economic aspects
Conclusion
I am surprised that there has been no mention of this article in the  
discussion.  On the subject of the article, the script of the film seems  to 
be accurate.
