Senhor Bernardo Colaco ( Jan 28 ) quotes either from the novel that
delves or may be from the book ''The Acts of Timoja ''
Quote no 1: '' Unlike in some colonized countries, where the indigenous
culture was wiped out by the colonizers''.
AM responds: Has this not already occurred in the Velhas Conquistas
of Goa (1510 - 1961 ) ?
Quote no: 2 : ''In Goa, Hinduism with its deep philosophical and cultural
roots and its caste system remained strong and survived , when faced
by aggressive onslaught by foreign invaders''
AM responds: It is true in case of Novas Conquistas of Goa( 1761 - 1961 )
mainly because of the Portuguese ennui and in addition caste system
flourished in the Velhas Conquistas as well in spite of the '''gloriosa
missao
civilizadora do Patriarcado de Portugal.
