Here are some observations: (1) "The so-called "Liberation" of Goa in 1963 is an example of aggrandisatization by a neigbouring country which invaded and occupied Goa not because she loved Goa but because she loved herself ...."
RESPONSE: Goa was liberated on December 19, 1961, not 1963! (2) "Let's pray that the transition to self-goverance is not a bloody one but a granting of total freedom based on goodwill, pragmatism, reconciliation and recognition of the fact that Goa, a small country with a small name, can be viable and capable of looking after herself without dictation from big brother." COMMENTS: Goa - a small country? Since when was it declared a country??? (3) It's high time Goans have a second liberation (this time a genuine one) resulting in self-respect, self-confidence, self-filfilment and self-determination. COMMENTS: A second liberation? From whom? Over-zealous, misinformed Overseas Goans? (4) If Timor L'este, a tiny poor undevoloped ministate, can fight for independence so can "little Goa" We Goans must present their demand of self-goverance to the UNO, EU, UK, NZ. USA, NGO's & others for endorsement and, if necessary, appeal to the International Court of Justice. Goans born or living in Goa can rest assured that their case for freedom will be supported by us of the Diaspora. COMMENTS: Goa is not a country to be referred to the above-mentioned organizations/countries and International Court of Justice. Goa is a State; an integral part of India. Get used to it !!
