Hi Bernado!
You make a valid point/suggestion.
If we in Goa were under oppression as informed to some of our people by
their parents, then, how come Portuguese names were given like Armando,
Mateus, Jose et al, why not Rahul, Prem, Manohar or for that matter
Liberation followed by the surname? Why borrow Portuguese names if we
suffered oppression.
Just thinking loud! – Kitt muntai reh bab?

From: Bernado Colaco
If one uses the word Catholic, soon the topic turns communal. If one is
pro Goan that means he is Salazar. All this is the result of 50 years of
brain washing. Armando Goncalves is still to come with the definition of
oppression. Besides why not have a Goa Day in Goa after December 3 on
the grounds of Old Goa. Each Goan Association world wide having its own
matou and programme, various palestras on the decay of Goa. Rajan and
Joe Escondido showing off the use of their tele lenses. Return of Beat 4
with a 'clean' Remo and Lata Mangueskar singing Aum Saiba...
