This story is bull crap from this writer. Salazar ordered the destruction of
vital points so as to stop the advancement of the invading forces. Governor
Vassalo e Silva was prudent enough not to complete all the operations. For this
he paid a heavy price in Portugal after being maltreated in the concentration
camp run by the invading forces. (Gen Silva was well received by the Goan
populace upon his return to Goa in 1981. He was probably the best governor
Goans have ever seen).
Besides, instead of sending guns and munitions to troops in Goa Salazar sent
sausage tins and postas de sardinha. (Ref.: Fim do Seculo - Goa, Damao e Diu).
He wanted his troops to fight to the end and probably enjoy a good meal before
they were all dead.
Chao en Lai invaded northern Ladakh in response to bharat's invasion of Goa.

We all know how much Saddam Hussein (28/4/1937-30/12/2006,) the late President
of
Iraq, loved the Kuwaitis. He loved them so much that he decided to destroy the
country by setting Kuwaiti oil wells ablaze. Fortunately, experts from the US
and
other countries were successful in extinguishing the fires and saved Kuwait
from
total destruction.
Similarly, António de Oliveira Salazar (28/4/1889-27/7/1970,) the late
President of
Portugal, loved Goans so much that he ordered his men to destroy Goa before
they
left.
He had also sent warships to finish Goa but the late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's
(14/11/1889-27/5/1964) friend, Gamal Abdel Nasser (15/1/1918-28/9/1970,) the
late
President of Egypt, did not allow the ships to cross the Suez Canal; or else we
would have been doomed. Keep in mind India was no where on the world stage when
it
liberated Goa. In fact, it suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of China
the
following year.
The Portuguese did succeed in blowing up and destroying some bridges before
they
were purged from Goa.
Just like Saddam Hussein
