The biggest achievement of the world's longest-staying colonial power
(Portugal) was the way in which they colonised the minds of their
subjects/citizens/overseas province residents that they did the latter
a big favour by being here.
One day, if India achieves some economic status, I guess then all
those guys today criticising the country would be only to happy to
claim to be proud Indians! Just like many in Western Europe
"rediscovered" their Goan roots after all that publicity, about what a
"great" place was in the days of the tourism boom (and are now in the
process of talking ill, when the tourism sheen is wearing think...
like all 'fashions' do!)
