This is with reference to the article " Macau magic for Goans ( Herald , September 13 2018)The author of the said "edit" says that China has given Macau a high degree of autonomy that allows Macau ( Ex Portuguese -India) , like Goa, C. Verde, East Timor, Angola, Mozambique ....ect which are now separate nations with their own Flags ) ...to have its own independent currency and to maintain its social and economical systems. life styles and freedom and Portuguese language ( As Republic India has kept their masters Language " English" in Roman Script for all court and official matters ...even forcing same " English" on Goans too who were using Portuguese Language. It is interesting to note that all these rights and guarantees , however, were " NOT GIVEN" by the Chinese government, but were arrived at, after extensive consultations with and by the delegations of Macau and the Government of Portugal, for 12 long years, before signing the " Sino -Portuguese Treaty" on Dec 20, 1999. Many " Non- Goans( PIO ethnicity ) or Anti-Goans (including MGPiddaaaa) says that " Liberation or Annexation " of Goa was sudden and not well planned before.....and so they were unable to have a Macau type of declaration that would protect the interests of Goans. ?? ( can this " logic", if at all make any sense ? in the UN court of Justice ! or otherwise. Hence, the question .???????????????????? What prevented the Government of Republic India (that was formally born only in 1947) and Portugal ....not to have a " Macau"type of declaration" ????????Was the "sudden, undeclared war" ..... that Republic -India launched on " Portuguese-India" ie Goa on December 17, 18, and 19, 1961 and " conquered" it.... by using Military Force ?? Thanks to this aggressive action of Republic -India Govt born only on 15th/Aug/1947 ( ie . 1 of 3- part of combine " EX-PIO ethnicity" that was formally born only in 1857 ) Yes. Thanks. Because we/ Many (PGO - Ethnicity) are all aware now how despite repeated sanctimonious assurances of then PM Jawaharlal Nehru, to the contrary, Portugal expectedly, refused to sit at the table with republic India, to " SIGN" a treaty.! However, 13 years later, after Salazar was deposed, Mario Soares, the then, UNELECTED PM of Portugal and Y.B Chavan ( Maharastrian) the then minister for Foreign Affairs of Republic -India, surreptitiously met in NEW YORK on Sept 25, 1974 and draw up a so called " INDO-PORTUGUESE TREATY" And on 31st Dec 1974 signed it in Delhi ?!!( How much was the Price if any ?? and who paid the Price ( Judas- money )?? ) This so called "Treaty" was cooled-up without any knowledge and/ or Consultation with any Goenkar( PGO) and consists of only six(6) clauses, not one of which is about or for Goa or Goenkars!!!!! Hence, How many Goenkar (PGO), in Goa or all over the world are even aware that there exists a PIECE OF PAPER, so called " INDO-PORTUGUESE TREATY"( google it) .....that is in reality, an I L L E G A L " S A L E D E E D " of GOA.... & /or GOANS RIGHTS ?!! Moreover, many Goenkars(P- G- O = PORTUGUESE- GOAN- ORIGINS and/or = PERSON OF GOAN ORIGINS .....) are also not aware that....long 7 yrs before signing ILLEGAL SALE DEED OF GOA on 31st/Dec/1974, ..... Goans have rightly and lawfully demanded ( as per UN convention rights for self determination ) ....the so called "Referendum"( Though we also see how word " REFERENDUM" was cutely belittled ...as just " Opinion Poll" / Voting Right !) ..... and when Goans had won it too, to remain separate and Free on 16th/Jan/1967. Beside, The " INDO-FRENCH TREATY" was signed before on May 28. 1956, with regard to Pondicherry, after due consultations with the Citizens, for over six(6) months .This " INDO-FRENCH TREATY" was signed by high-ranking Official of frence and by Jawaharlal Nehru, then as Minister for Foreign Affairs of Republic -India govt Jawaharlal Nehru Preached " P E A C E" to the world before Goa's Invasion/Annexation ??!! .....as we saw how East Pakistan( now Bangladesh) was separated from West Pakistan ( present Pakistan) by Republic India govt ( Indra , daughter of Nehru) by sending Military Force and justifying the same by saying that .....the people of Bangladesh have all rights under UN CONVENTION FOR SELF DTERMINATION TREATY ...to be Free and separate Nation on earth ??!! So , What should Goenkars ( PGO -Ethnicity, since 25th/Nov 1510) do now ...since we are aware of our Rights ??
