There are some pretty big holes in Colacos analysis. They were government officials just like the present - corrupt and crooked as always they shall be - till the general poppulation remains crooked and have no respect for law! Even if Nadakarnis were crooked, why would they advertise it in their name? Colaco, try however hard, you wont get any apology for misdeeds of my Saraswat forefathers. I may agree to their crookedness or cruelty. One thing you wont get from me is apology for their deeds or guilt. I am accountable only for my deeds and actions. You can go on spitting venom and it makes no difference to me! You cant even make me angry at you. It could be possible to prove logically that Khazana lands of Goa were developed by outsiders (not necessorily saraswats)- not original inhabitants of Goa, by possibly employing locals, by payment or by coercions - Simply because the very project was stupid and makes very little economic sense.
