To answer Jose's question, I have gone through Leo
Lawrence's book, which mostly harps on the Goa case at
the UN.
Like many pro-Portuguese Goans, Leo advocated a Free
Goa in a Free India. I had another friend who gave me
many phamplets he published espousing the case of Goa
as an independent nation. He quoted facts and figures,
such as Luxemborg, or probably some other nation,
being smaller that Goa in area.
Like the present-day Khalistanis wanting an
independent Punjab. I won't mention Kashmir, because
the history of this state is complicated and has its
own unique history in India's political framework.I
am not sure of Cardinal Gracias's statement but he
was consulted by the Goan liberation leaders and fully
backed India's repossession of Goa.
How many on this forum have read Prof Soares's
autobiography?
