And Dayanand Bandodkar and his Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party fortified
this North-South divide, call it the Berlin wall, the iron curtain or the
communal fortress.
All the more reason for sensible Goans to join the PPS Brigade

In an article under the above caption on The Times of India dated Jan 16,
Alexandre Moniz Barbosa quotes an interesting observation made by a
Marathi writer Ramakant Naik as follows:
''''' There was a gap of almost two centuries between Portugal conquering
the talukas of Ilhas, Bardez and Salcete in the 16th century ( Velhas
Conquistas) and the rest of the talukas which came under foreign
( Portuguese ) rule in the 18th century ( Novas Conquistas). There is a
Berlin Wall ( or Iron Curtain) between the old and new conquests and
that wall has to be broken.Then only will there be a complete Goan
identity.'''''
