And according to you, Rico, what we have after the so called liberation is
not colonialism?
India liberated Bangladesh. Did they remain there? Could they??
What then gives India the right to maintain its presence in Goa (especially
the Naval presence at Dobolim) after the task of liberating it? Did it have
a referendun as is a must under the UN charter to let Goans decide if they
wanted to be with India or remain separate? NO!
Then what is this talk of being liberated?

Subject: [Goanet] "Shinning bowl" debate Was: 50 YEARS FROM A SHINNING
BOWLTO A DUST BIN
Overall comment: ridicule and abuse is no argument!
It has only taken 50 years to turn a shinning bowl into a dust
bin. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! - Soter D'souza
Do you mean that Goa was a "shinning bowl" after 451 years of
colonialism in 1961? If so, could you care to explain how exactly?
What did it mean to the lives of the average people here?

See above comment...
Yes, it was a shining, immaculate and undisturbed shinning bowl which
even the Portuguese preserved for 450 years.
"Immaculate"? "Undisturbed"? Sure... most semi-feudal colonies run by
non-industrial powers, the non-Britains of the world, could be
described in the words you choose. But is that what was wanted?
Why did such a large section of the local population leave this
"shining, immaculate and undisturbed shining bowl which even the
Portuguese preserved for 450 years'?
The neo-colonizers have screwed it all up with the conniving help from
renowned Gomant Vibhushan Awardee Goans who have never loved GOA, or
have they????
I can understand over some of the recent changes. But where's the need
to sing a song of praise for colonialism?
Stupid question from stupid people.
Why is every one scrambling for a piece of land in Goa if it does not
shine?
What are those publishers publishing books for if there is nothing to
sell
about Goa? To smell the pig toilets or eat choris pao? -Soter
Ola! This is even more confusing. Now is the suggestion that is
shining now, or was shining in 1961? The flame baits of books, pig
toilets and choris pao will be quietly ignored.
OK .... but which intelligent Goan asked that question?

One would expect the doctors and holders of doctorates to take the
debate to a higher level!
