Attached is this month's newsletter on issues affecting GEMs (Goans, East
Indians, and Mangaloreans).The topic is: Camões and Churchill. Both these
literary giants came east as part of their empire’s settlers.
Knowing and understanding the past helps us to understandourselves better.
Graspingthe scope of one’s inheritance should give a more nuanced base to make
ourdecisions. To the diaspora, the land has the ashes of ancestors and isthe
abode of our deities and saints. We hope to unfreeze the events by presentingto
the readers the 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 these articles 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.
