Dumo, on the anti-India rhetoric, stance and/or agenda of its founder, Floriano Lobo, in Goan internet forums.The weblink containing quotes of a secessionist politician provided by dos Reis Falcão, and the sound bites appended below lead us to discuss the dirty and often violent politics of secessionist movements in sovereign free representative democracies (not in communist dictatorships like China):…>>> COMMENT : There is ocean of difference between ‘secessionist’ and ‘fanatic terrorist’. HJS is a fanatic terrorist group who is against their own Hindus who have moved with the times. Secessionists need not be militant nor violent, or belong to any political party, or resort to armed violence; but have an ideology of separatism or withdrawal from the main association. English is a language which needs to be used correctly, especially when in an English speaking country where they detest the murder of their language. In India, it is tolerable on any ‘grounds’, and passed off as a slip of tongue. Certain politicians in Goa have recently stated that people who have studied English and then go abroad are just butler and cooks, and are anti-Nationals! Not that I agree, as we see in the above post, a thorough nationalist and not a butler and cook. Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.
