In this context, Gabe Menezes asks: "Does it mean that to bring about a complete reversal, Catholics will have to revert to Hindu names and also renounce their Religion?"
Gabe, I did not know that Catholicism originated in Portugal. We should understand that the objective of the protest is to ensure that the Portuguese as a colonist are not glorified. It is my impression that the present day Portuguese do not empathise with those Portuguese who did so much harm to others in colonies all over the world. They also do not empathise with the regime of Salazar and others. Best regards, U G Barad
