An interesting article by Valmiki Faleiro. However , I doubt very much whether
all the gasbags he mentioned in the Roll of Honour from 1787 to 1961, with
the exception of Mr. Tristao Braganca d'Cunha , were really interested in
the welfare of the people in general.
VF: "In 1862 came, noble Sashti - Navelkar Francisco Luis Gomes'
inspiring call for Goa's integration with motherland India."
Motherland India, in 1862, was either British India or Princely India of
odious Maharajahs.
Mr. F.L. Gomes, I believe, had made a speech in the Portugal's Parliament,
stating that he hailed from a land which produced some people who were
100% "superior". ( but nevertheless of zilch achievements ).
No wonder, F.L.Gomes finds a place in the pantheon of "original" freedom
fighters.
Antonio.
