Dear Philip,
Good Points!
#1: A little over 10 years.
If there were no problems with Indian Navy dadagiri restricting and disturbing civilian flight schedules, NO Goan would have bothered what the Indian Navy did or did not do at Dabolim.
#2: I'd prefer to think of my points as more realistic than defeatist.
#3: Rather curious, wouldn't you say - that the owners of a place have to BEG for partial use of their OWN property from the alleged LIBERATORS!
Looks like even the dictator Salazar was more equitable (wrt Dabolim) than the Indian Navy.
So may be, Bernado Colaco is right after all.
From Salazar's colonialism, Goa has fallen into the hands of Indian Navyimperialism as one of the Spoils of War ( as Chacha Alfred Tavares the Viking would say).
Anyone who disagrees - please do the honours (minus gratuitous comments - please).
over to you
