*COMMENTS:* *Get back the idyll that Goa was by making Goans, the first beneficiaries of all planning * *Herald edit – 3 Dec, 2017* *Dear Sujay Gupta,* *It was a pleasure reading through your edit above, and thanks for this treat. Goans must open their eyes to see that after 451 years of Portuguese colonization, Goa is presently re-colonized by India much against the UN Charter, through utter defiance, 56 years ago and continuing the destruction of Goa in as many years that the Portuguese could not do so in 451 years.* *It was the Portuguese who accepted Goa’s agrarian institutions, the COMUNIDADES, honoured them and even went a step ahead to codify them through the CODE OF COMUNIDADES to protect them. Enter India and the Goa’s Comunidades are today only the outer shell that were thriving prior to 1964’s Goa Agriculture Tenancy Act.* *Incidentally, India’s representative Mr. C.S.Jha is on record to say, in the UN Security Council meeting No. 987 the following: Quote It is the question of getting rid of the last vestiges of colonialism in India. That is a matter of faith with us. Whatever anyone else may think, Charter or No Charter, Council or No council, that is our basic faith which we cannot afford to give up at any cost. Unquote* *It is a pity that the august General Assembly of the United Nations did not boot out this pariah who defied the Charter that he was supposed to defend. It is a pity also that the UN buckled down to the veto of the USSR which acted as a colluder to save the imminent withdrawal of Indian forces from Goa as required by the resolution that was being debated.* *I guess that the invader which came as the liberator, through the imposition of Martial Law over the supposed liberated Goans, have broken the back-bones of Goans to fight back like East Timoreans who sent back the invading Indonesians after 25 long years of occupation. * *It is also no wonder that India which went as liberators of East Pakistan in 1971 did not stay there. It couldn’t. Because the now Bangladeshis wouldn’t have them even for a day longer than was necessary. But Goans were such wonderful people that they welcomed them, got looted and booted, raped and killed and have still kept quite for the past 56 years not even mustering the GET OUT FROM GOA, even within the confines of their four walls, let alone publicly.* *It is hightime that Goans pick up the courage to say those words now, or sink to the bottom of the India's colonizing mire. And, believe you me, it is not too late.* *Floriano Lobo 9890470896 www.goasu-raj.com <http://www.goasu-raj.com> http://www.goasu-raj.com/gen/display_commentsOnNews_data.asp?pg=3992 <http://www.goasu-raj.com/gen/display_commentsOnNews_data.asp?pg=3992>*
