Gilbert,  please visit See

page 8.

He was implicated in the "Conjuracao dos Pintos" (aka
the Pinto revolt), which was not necessarily a revolt
for "freedom", but nevertheless a revolt against the
hierarchy of the time, in Goa. 

He indirectly, like Francisco Luis Gomes, put Goa on
the world map, as one may say, by way of promoting
hypnotism as a scientific topic rather than as a side
show at a circus.  

Cheers,
