Dear Mr Phadte The Dept of Education makes the screening of the CD mandatory. All the students (tender and susceptible minds) watch it. They see the inquisition (christian)atrocities against the Goan Hindus. They nurture a sense of distrust and even hatred towards today's christians (read the Goan christians - the portuguese are long gone). Is that the benefit you are talking about of reopening old wounds, Mr Phadte? Otherwise please list out all the benefits of screening the CD for the students. Self-centred politicians have been doing everything to find echoes of Gujarat in other states for their selfish ends. Not all the people are idiots not to see their twisted designs. Regards

History has to be narrated the way it is, and it should not be falsified because some group may find it uncomfortable. The atrocities committed by the Portuguese in Goa, and many other places in the world, did happen. Not talking about them in fact makes things worse as far as the memory of the sufferers is concerned __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.
