Tony de Sa's interesting observation of the constant criticism leveled at the Indian Government by someone who had himself profited from the subsidized education in post liberation Goa, reminds me of the attitude of some Goans who were working in Bombay and on board of the ships during the colonial times.
Most Goans in Bombay were unknowingly critical of the Indian Govt. viz a viz the Portuguese. I would not blame them for they were brainwashed by what they heard during sunday mornings from persons who were regularly receiving a monthly stipend (courtesy the Patriarca)at the Fazenda. They worked hard in Bombay and on board of British ships, received their wages with which they comfortably maintained their families in Goa and yet the Portuguese got all the praise for the well being of their kinsfolk during the colonial regime.
