I see. Which papers are you referring to? I have a set of coverage
from the New York Times, which fits in well with Cold War interests of
the time :-) FN

I enjoyed reading your article referring to the day India overran Goa with a
public display of power while the Portuguese occupiers quietly vanished into
the twilight without offering even a token resistance on that day in
December.

I was not in Goa at the time and my knowledge of the event comes from
newsprint reports (lacking in detail) received in colonial Africa.  My
memory fails me but on what date did this happen.  I have since seen
postings of celebrations of the anniversary of the event and some political
manoeuvrings around statehood and the governing thereof.  I try to remain
informed on current matters in Goa but feel that as a UK resident I have no
influence there unless I am prepared to change my domicile.
