Congratulations to Sr. J. Menezes for putting a massive effort in writing the real perspective of the history of Portuguese presence in the subcontinent. For many decades Goans have been subject to the version of the invaders. This book would be a good read for those who have been brainwashed, but also to the remnants of the so called freedom fighters such as the likes of Libia Lobo Sardesai. Best wishes and good health to Sr. Joao Menezes.. BC
Goa's past is a strongly contested one. Depending on whom you are reading, or listening to, you could easily believe that you are encountering very different regions. Now, along comes a book which offers yet another different take on Goan history -- definitely not the one you're likely to learn in the text books of our times. ***************
