Apparently many Goans are seeking to leaving Goa via various avenues, the
most opted avenues was by the way of acquiring a Portugeese Passport. In my
view, yes this is a clear failure of India towards Goa/Goans after invading
the state in 1961 and making false promises. However with saying that, I

There is something about Goans which we seem to have overlooked, nay ,

Hi Gadgil, When I mention a section who retained loyalties to the

That's not unexpected. I think Portuguese cultural colonialism was
very strong, together with the switch in religion they effected. Add
these two facts to the reality that the Portuguese managed to keep the

for that) inspite of
I would like to add to what Fred writes apropos the above subject.
Religion during the Portuguese rule played a big role in the social and

Hi Gadgil, With Portugal, the responses -- both of likes and dislikes
