I am very much illuminated and enlightened by your version of history, At the risk of boring readers please allow me to state as follows;
Palacio de Hildacao,or Adil Shah' Palace (or the Secretariat as you prefer to call it) was the residence of Portuguese Governor/Viceroy. It is recorded in history books that the Governor used to use back door to visit Mhamai Kamat. Sometime in 1843 or so and soon after the plague devastated the city of goa(Cidade de Goa), the capital was moved to Panjim and was called "Nova Goa". Abhar, Voznadik Vojem --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Governor's residence is at Raj Bhawan in Dona Paula. The Mhamai Kamats have lived for centuries behind Adil Shah's Palace, the former Secretariat of Goa, post December 1961. And Cidade de Goa was another name for Panjim. Old Goa is Velha Goa, not to be confused with Goa Velha another village.
