Jose and Santosh babs, JC's undermentioned post takes care of my reply in a better manner than I could have done.
WHAT SYSTEM Santosh? A system where honesty, clean public administration, speedy justice, and the economic good of the people within the means available, trumped personal, illegal, pecuniary gain perpetrated in mega doses and without impunity. Santoshbab, there are many things that have to be visualized and experienced like in your scientific world in order to be believed. Otherwise one expresses incredulity like you have done. You are pessimistic about Portuguese administration, not having seen it or experienced it. To that extent I can excuse your disbelief. Roland.

COMMENT: While Roland does the needful to answer Santoshbab's question, I believe it would help IF Santoshbab identified at least a couple of the crooks from the Portuguese administration that he knows of. Otherwise, at this moment, it appears as though Roland is being asked to prove/disprove the negative. Such techniques are possibly brilliant in Debates, Political skirmishes and perhaps in the Court of Public Opinion; NOT in any reasonable court. ps: it is my understanding that the Vast Majority of administrators and policemen in Portuguese Goans were Goans. Is the suggestion being made here that A SYSTEM which enabled Goans to live without locking their front doors, actually allowed Corruption in public administration to flourish? Might be a good idea to prove it. jc
