This is with reference to the recent report in the Media that the Freedom Fighters are opposing an upcoming Portugeese Cultural Event
With all due respect to all freedom fighters, I would really request to know, what really happened in 1961? With key strong factors on our side (A) The United Nations behind Goa, stating self-determination (B) Goans being aware of constitutional provisions to states like Kashmir etc. I really can't digest the fact that, Goans so easily agreed to accession, without any safeguards to preserve our unique identity. *What freedom does it look like today; Is it Liberation of Goa from the Portugeese or from the Goans? * Surely the Freedom Fighters must have fought for Genuine Goan interests.The Freedom Fighters can oppose the cultural event if they wish; but I think there are bigger issues for Goa & Its Identity that they should spend their time on; and make a difference.
