This doesn't strike me as a particularly even-handed tackling of the situation. By choosing a "suitable" and convenient time-frame, just one side of the problem is being highlighted.
If you search (even just online) for issues of communalism in Goa post-1961, the other side of the problem emerges very clearly and starkly! Both sides need to be noted, to created a picture that does not mislead.
