I. Nunes responds:
Mr. Kelekar,
Oh dear!
The 'someone' you refer to was merely the notable Tristao de Bragranca Cunha
whose essay: The Denationalisation of Goans, was published in 1944.
Dare I hope that Kelekar Sr. will enlighten you?
Are you implying that the ancestors of this illustrious son of Cuelim and Goa,
as well as those of present day Catholic Goans “welcomed them {Portuguese}with
open arms“?
Dialogue such as yours with undertones of antipathy towards Catholic goans, are
unlikely to serve your political ambitions.
But then, you are banking on votes from the large migrant sector, aren‘t you?
