Colonial Goa and Portugal 1940-1961. Hi Tiotonio: Thanks for your response. You suggest I should read P.D. Gaitonde's memoirs. I have a book written by him. I will review it. However, Gaitonde being Nehru's right hand man and his appointee as Goa's first appointed Lok Sabha representative, he was more likely an Indo-phile rather than one who wanted Goa's independence (May be he started with this position).
However, how about all those Goans in Portugal and in East Africa who were by and large in favor of Goa 'seeking its own destiny' / independence, etc.? It would be nice to hear their views albeit theoretical and retrospective about how would an independent Goa survive economically when it could not do so under the Portuguese. Thanks to you or any one else who care to respond.
