Yes, there are politically motivated distortions. For example, the above claim is a classic example of a politically motivated fabrication - namely that this was about one footnote, and that it was a debacle from the standpoint of people who pointed out the revision of history. This persistent fabrication of FN Noronha has been corrected by more than one person in more than one Goan forum. Indeed, Fr. Ferrao himself has tried to correct his erroneous statements about Goan history made in the main text of his article in response to feedback from me and others. Cheers, Santosh
