Re: [Goanet] BOOK EXTRACT: December 18, 1961: A Message of *Paz e Calma* (Fernando Jorge Colaco)

[Eugene Correia]

The US had tactically given the green signal to India. Though it was bound
to help Portugal under the NATO clause,  US never that Portugal was on the
wrong foot. Kennedy and Nehru were close and the in-between role played was
by US ambassador John Kenneth Galbraith, who by the way was a Canadian. The
Harvard economist has given some of his thoughts in his Ambassador's
Journal: A Personal Account of the Kennedy Years.

Re: [Goanet] I married a female wrestler

[Eugene Correia]

Maybe the misconception of it being a Goan song came from Usha Uthrup
singing it in the movie Bombay to Goa. The song was favourite with fans of
Radio Ceylon, but other Indians may have not known its origin. It was only
after it hit the airwaves with the release of the movie it became a rage,
especially at Catholic weddings.

Re: [Goanet] QUO VADIS ELVIS GOMES

[John Eric Gomes]

Times are a changing and Brexit and Donald Trump proves it! We perhaps have
to change our mindset, have an open mind for to err is human, but to learn
lessons and try to use the lessons learned  positively is divine. In fact
being an MLA first is perhaps a disqualification to change things? AAP is
an agent of change and Kejriwal and none of AAP had political experience.
These days having suffered, seen and experienced the art of being a
scoundrel and joining politics maybe good?And I am not saying this just
because he is a Gomes!

[Goanet] BOOK EXTRACT: December 18, 1961: A Message of *Paz e Calma* (Fernando Jorge Colaco)

[Bernado Colaco]

Reading Roland's post, things could  have been different if the US had to place 
nuclear missiles on Goan soil to deter the bharatis. 50,000 vs 3,000 is huge. 
Colonial wars were already simmering in Angola and Mozambique. The Suez was 
blocked by Nasser. Goa was filled with Catholic traitors.

Interesting article for those with a fondness of the history of December 1961 
of Goa.

Goa was the jewel that adorned Portugal's seafaring past but it is pretty 
disgraceful that they were cheap enough not to have any planes to defend the 
territory, nor any arms or personnel to put up a good fight against Indian 
forces.

At a certain point in time, Salazar the economics professor might have been the 
saving grace of a tired Portugal but as far as any diplomatic energy was 
concerned, he possessed none.

Portugal was a member of NATO and a friend of Pakistan and the Agha Khan. He 
had sufficient knowledge of what India was going to do and yet he had no 
strategy or foresight to ensure Goa would not fall into Indian hands like a 
ripe mango. He deserved what he got - a humiliating defeat.
