Would Therese please expand on the points made by here and quoted below? 1: Was the Portuguese Govt in Goa (circa 1961) ruthless?
2: What is the meaning of:"people ....did not know how to react particularly when any vistage of 'western influence' invited negative reactions 3: Who labeled Goans as "dogs" and when? May I also inquire of Therese as to Which part of Goa *circa 1961) she witnessed what she has written in her post? jc Therese Almeida <[email protected]> wrote: Perhaps what is not considered is that Goa emerged in 1961 from a ruthless dictatorship and were just as intimidated by the new authority which confused people who did not know how to react particularly when any vistage of 'western influence' invited negative reactions and such Goans labelled as 'dogs.'Any leadership that could be depended upon did not emerge from among the people.
