UDAY BHEMBRE has vividly and accurately pointed the negative aspect of the disgusting, lackluster, badly scripted, and sickening contents of the VCD, which the government wanted to force down the throats of young student in the guise of Goa's freedom struggle.
It's a crying shame that the government and educational department don't know the difference between Goa's history and freedom struggle. The committee members involved with the production of the filthy VCD have clearly shown that they are ignorant, adversaries of peace, and communal minded. They have demonstrated that they have scant respect for freedom struggle in particular and Goa's history in general. The government's intent to divide the Goan community by using religion has been exposed by the ever vigilant true Goans. Why did the perpetrators of the VCD left out the fact that Mhal Pai of Verna, a Hindu Brahmin, co-operated with Timoja and Afonso de Albuquerque in the attack against Adil Shah? Is it because they somehow feel that they are descendants of Mhal Pai or want to use the same tactic by co-operating with communal forces to destroy the Christian community? Avelino Bastora/Kuwait _____________________ WAS INQUISITION A PART OF GOA'S LIBERATION STRUGGLE? The subject of the documentary is Goa's freedom struggle and not the history of Goa. Conversion and inquisition are a part of Goa's history and are not relevant as regards the history of freedom struggle. The struggle for freedom was intended to end the rule of an alien nation (Portugal) wherein Hindus and Christians fought hand in hand. It was not a struggle for or against any religion.
