For Fred Noronha colonial is evil and commi is god. OBE's were just doing a good job therefore keeping the Goan flag hoisted. What is coming out from the neo colonial rule is goons and thugs.
BC > Nice to hear that so many Goans were recognized for their sterling > services to the Colonial Government in East Africa. Viv and others on this thread: Isn't this a contradiction in terms? In a post-colonial era, what does it mean to be have offered "sterling services to the Colonial Government" in East Africa or anywhere else for that matter? I'd rather celebrate the achievements of the handful of Goans who worshipped at the altar of social justice, and took the huge risk kof supported the underdog... and the Black African cause... when the wind was blowing in the other direction. Pio Gama Pinto. Fritz DeSouza. Aquino Braganca. Or even the Assagaonkar, Armande de Souza in the Ceylon of another era [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goanet-news-backup/message/2428] Among others, I guess. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
