Cip, The views of the filmmaker, Luis Galvao having been noted.... I don't know of any 'so-called Portuguese Goans' just as I know not of any 'so-called British Goans'. I do know Goans who have Portuguese, British, US, Canadian, Australian and even Pakistani citizenship. These folks are known as Portuguese Goans, British Goans, US Goans, Canadian Goans, Australian Goans and Pakistani Goans respectively. Most of the above are loyal to their country of citizenship, and to their homeland i.e. Goa. Many non-Goans may possibly never understand this. I must hasten to add that there might be a few Goans who use their Portuguese or UK/US etc status ONLY to facilitate their own job placement. I do not know of any such individuals for sure - perhaps you will advise us if you know of any. Now: with regard to Liberation and NOT Invasion: Please advise WHY it is not possible to Liberate via Invasion. While you are at that thought - Please advise How Goa could have been Liberated from Portuguese control without the 1961 Invasion. And please, let us not get into any recurrent 'Echo Chamber' talking points. jc http://www.colaco.net/4/GoaLib1.htm The question is: Are Goans truly liberated? TGF says: NO! http://www.colaco.net/1/letdown.htm Have Goans been liberated ?. The answer is definitely NOT.
