say Mea Culpa.
My comment :------
I don`t think it behoves a Mea Culpa from Mr. Martins about his
personal opinion of the transfer of Goa to India from the Portuguese "
overseas province " state. Goa was forcibly taken by disproportionately
large armed forces of India from a small garrison of Portuguese and Goan
defenders. That is a fact recounted by goans in the "Operation Vijay "
accounts. It was also formally documented in the Indian parliament in
Delhi as an annexation.
