P. Bhatikar -- Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch---21/07/2011-----Press Release:-

<<<Brar and Reddy should know
that the Portuguese Colonialists, unlike the British, ruled with the Sword in
one hand and Cross in the other. The Colonialists, not only indulged in mass
conversion of the Hindu population to Christianity but also tried to annihilate
the Konkani language and the Hindu culture of Goa. Goa is still suffering from
the cultural after-effects of the Portuguese rule, and the recent demand for
grants-in-aid for English from a section of the minority community incited by
the Church, and the equally shocking demand not to make Hindi compulsory for
school students is only a manifestation of this cultural alienation, said Smt.
Kakodkar.>>>

 

COMMENT : The communal venom spitting
here, because they are unable to bite; like ‘A drowning person clinging to a
straw’. 

If the Portuguese “ruled with the Sword in
one hand and Cross in the other” and “indulged in mass conversion of Hindu
population to Christianity”; then it should have been the Christians who should
have been protesting and not the Hindus. But the Christians are happy with what
they are, and these communalists are only fomenting communal feelings in the
illiterates and the youth.

And what do Portuguese rule have to do
with the English language? They never even promoted the language; whereas the
British did in India.

The Portuguese did not massacre people
like in Jallianwalla Bagh, Amritsar; where thousands of Hindus, Muslim and
Sikhs were opened fire on and killed. 

If Arvind Bhatikar and Shashikala want to
intergrate with the communalists, they are free to go and join Thakerays; they
are still delusioned that Goa will integrate with Maharashtra.
