Attachedis this newsletter on issues affecting GEMs (Goan, East-Indian,
andMangalorean): “Demystifying Colonial Myths.”
Knowing and preserving history is toprotect the past for the future! Knowing
and understanding thepast helps us to understand ourselves better. Grasping
the scope ofone’s inheritance should give a more nuanced base to make
ourdecisions. To the diaspora, the land has the ashes of their ancestors andis
the abode of our deities and saints. We hope to unfreeze the events
bypresenting to the readers when, why, and how of past events.
We hope you enjoy reading this aspect of GEM history. There is a lot of ‘food
for thought.’ Please forward the article to yourrelatives, friends, peers,
Indian and Iberian chat sites. Sharing history issharing our cultural heritage;
and the work is for us, by us. Thank you forallowing us to share this with you.
