The words used By Venatius to characterize Nehtu seems like the current language used by the BJP to describe the Nehru family. i think Nehru was sincere in his remarks that Goa enjoys a distinct identity. But so was Pondicherry (now Puducherry). unlike the French, Portugal didn't want to leave with respect. Many blame Nehru for taking the case of Kashmir to the UN. In hindsight, one can say that Liberation/Aggression has brought mixed results. Goan youngsters sre getting education and a chance to do well in life. Yeah, the top layers of Goan society feel their power has been curtailed to a large degree. Opinions are divided.
