Karachi-born mothers & Germany domiciled Goan: Even children born in the European Union of Karachi-born mothers have had trouble getting visas to visit India/Goa for Christmas, loosing out on economy-based air fares, even though the mother may have fled Pakistan in order to bring into the world a family in an environment free from religious bias.
Having tried to do what I could for the German-based Goan after his appeal on the Net around 2005 I am aware that he quit Goa in 1962 but received Indian visas to visit Goa without let or hindrance on his Portuguese passport thereafter, but after he obtained a 5-year Indian visa and landed in Goa in 1995 on a German passport he was denied entry and sent back to Germany on the return flight on grounds that the Goa Police had uncovered a file of his (after brushing off 32 years of accumulated dust?) alleging anti-Indian activities way back in 1962 which he firmly denies, and thereafter it has been an uphill task for him to obtain an Indian visa on each occasion. This gentleman has been kind enough to visit me in Mumbai on two visits. John Menezes
