Mario, you and others fail to understand what the real Goan issue is all about.
Nobody wants to be ruled. Goa should never have ever been ruled. Goa should not be ruled by anyone. Definitely not by Europeans and definitely not by other brown-skinned people (read ethnic Indians). We Goans may be ethnical Indian. Just like the Portuguese are ethnical Europeans. But that is about it. The Pakistanis were also ethnical Indian but they chose not to be ruled by India. Goa never belonged to the Republic of India and therefore it does not make sense to say that Goa has been returned to the Republic of India in 1961. Only ignorant people can claim that. Goa should have been liberated and returned to Goa and to Goans so that they could choose their future. That is all I have been saying all along. That is it. Plain and simple. The Republic of India * did not * have a legal stand to rule over Goa or to conquer Goa. You and others keep changing (spinning) what I say. I am not defending the side of the Portuguese. I am defending the side of Goa and Goans. What has happened is clearly injustice to Goa and Goans. I think this is quite simple to read and understand. So, please do not keep changing what I write and influence other people in the bargain. It is about time Goans understand that we Goans are the ones who lost out in 1961. Not the Portuguese!
