COMMENT: My dear Joao Barros-Pereira, I regret to inform you that the above sentence of yours has fundamental errors. 1: Goa was NOT given Independence NOT did it attain it. It was annexed by force. (The legal principle upon which former citizens/residents of Goa are the ONLY folks from among the erstwhile Portuguese territories who are able to apply (upto 3rd generation) IF They Wish ....for Portuguese Nationality ....even today. ( See Portuguese Nationality Act 1974) 2: The Migrants - whom you refer to, above - have every right to enter look for employment, work, purchase property, conduct business and settle down in Goa. 3: If you disagree, please accept my invitation to visit the Indian Constitution. 4: Please (also) be advised that the Kashmiris were smart ....In contrast, Goa's Freedom And Freedumb fighters were what they were. jc
