This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Sir/Madam, MIGUEL BRAGANZA IS RIGHT WHEN HE QUESTIONS THE SO-CALLED 'LIBERATION' OF OUR LAND. INDIA 'LIBERATED' GOA NOT BECAUSE SHE LOVED GOA BUT IN AN ACT OF AGGRANDIZATION.IMPERIALISM TODAY IS NOT ONLY WHITE BUT ALSO BROWN AS IN GOA, NAGALAND, THE ANDAMANS, KASHMIR, JUMMA AND OTHER COUNTRIES, THE CITIZENS OF WHICH ARE DENIED THEIR RIGHTS; IN FACT, GOANS, NAGAS, KASHMIRIS AND OTHER OPPRESSED PEOPLES ARE MADE TO FEEL LIKE STRANGERS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES. SINCE 'LIBERATION' IN 1961, GOA HAS BEEN INDIA'S IRAQ. WE GOANS ARE TREATED LIKE DIRT IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. SOME GOAN 'NATIONALISTS' DESERVE THE BLAME FOR THIS SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS; THEY SOLD OUR COUNTRY FOR A SONG, ALBEIT TO BROWN IMPERIALISTS. INDIANS ARE AS BAD AS, IF NOT WORSE THAN, THE PORTUGUESE WHOSE 450-YEAR DICTATORSHIP WAS A BENEVOLENT ONE -- A DICTATORSHIP, UNLIKE INDIA'S, WITHOUT VIOLENCE AND EXPLOITATION (+ SEXPLOITATION)RAMPANT IN OUR SORROWING LAND AS AT PRESENT. IT IS HIGH TIME GOANS STRUGGLE IN A NON-VIOLENT WAY FOR TOTAL AUTOMONY. THIS CAN BE DONE BY APPEALING TO THE UNO,THE EU AND VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS MONITORING VIOLATIONS OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS.
