Looks like this young Chinese Indian is disappointed with the Portuguese 
information officer Leo Lawrence.

BTW, the Goan and Indian press accurately reported on the one specific instance 
of rape in Margao, mentioned by Lawrence. Here is the quote from the February 
14, 1962 issue of Diario de Noite and from a letter by Laxman Pai in the 
February 21, 1962 issue of Times of India.

not only the city of Margao but all the population of the province felt 
humiliated upon hearing the news of the rape of a girl, a teacher in a primary 
school, by some Indian troops. The girl was later taken to hospital for 
necessary treatment.
