------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html -------------------------------------------------------
Goa's communal party once again at its best! Through its malevolous organised machinery, and baseless allegations, pre-empts to block a peaceful talk by famous Ram Puniyani on Communal Peace and Harmony at Kare Law College. This talk was earlier delivered at the Peaceful Society, Marcaim, where I attended. It was a gem of a talk, by one of the luminaries in India who does so much to foster communal harmony. Are evil doers now affraid of their own shadow? Shame on them.
