I will let sober and rational people in this forum decide what kind of communal seeds were sown by whom in which family, and also who is spreading misinformation here. But if someone wants to read about communal policies of the Portuguese government, and communalism among the Hindus and Catholics during the 451 years of Portuguese rule, and in the early sixties, then here are some references that I have read on this subject:
Flight of the Deities: Hindu Resistance in Portuguese Goa Authors: Paul Axelrod; Michelle A. Fuerch Modern Asian Studies, Vol. 30, No. 2. (May, 1996), pp. 387-421. Goa: The Transformation of an Indian Region Author(s): Robert S. Newman Source: Pacific Affairs, Vol. 57, No. 3 (Autumn, 1984), pp. 429-449 Published Goan Intellectuals and Goan Identity: An Unresolved Conflict Author(s): Pramod Kale Source: Economic and Political Weekly, Vol. 29, No. 16/17 (Apr. 16-23, 1994), pp. 909-911 The General Elections in Goa Author(s): Ram Joshi Asian Survey, Vol. 4, No. 10. (Oct., 1964), pp. 1093-1101. I would be happy to provide PDF copies of these articles if anyone wants to read them.
