Can someone tell me where the Banco Nacional Ultramar used to be in Panjim. I
am
assuming it was in what is now the State Bank, right across the Secretariat and
(b) what was the exact purpose of the Secretariat during this time.
Also can someone (maybe Cha Cha Alfred) describe to me what it was like inside
this bank before liberation. Were there a lot of Goan clerks working in the
bank
and were the top jobs held by the Portuguese or Goans. I understand by this
time, there were hardly any Portuguese left in Goa and Goa was virtually in the
hands of Goans. Did the alliances of caste determine who got a job and who did
not?
Anyone's memories/opinions of working or living in Goa between the years
1940-1955 would be much appreciated.
Also if JoeGoaUK has some nice pictures of Fontainhas and/or San Tome, could he
post one or two? Would anyone know if the San Tome chapel would have had a
dedicated priest attached to it?
Best,
Selma
