Thanks for the info on Goanet which clearly shows via the writings of Pirolkar
the intent of the MG party to demolish the Catholic Goans. The crooks under the
leadership of Bandodcar were heralded into power in 1964 in an alleged rigged
poll. Then came the scheme of a duff Opinion Poll to get Goa merged into
maharastra wadi which Goans foolishly subscribed but won thanks to the Goan
militants like Maurilio Furtado and Prof. Olympio Dias who supported the hands
of Dr. Jack Sequeira - of the anti-merger movement.
If not for the gallant efforts of these Goans, Goanet net today would probably
have had the name of Gomantak net and one of its moderators forced to convert
to hinduism may have had the name of Sivaji Norendra.
The next step of the MG were to bring in maratistas to work in the government,
if that was enough after the death of Bandodcar (after his cargo of gold was
found) the attempted pogrom continued by his daughter Sashikala Kakodkar.
Thanks to the student movement in the late seventies which than saw the death
of MG.
One wonders where were the caste and Portuguese bashers during the 60's? They
are often seen on Goanet. Can they save a sinking Goa now free from MG, but
faced with new challenges like Manohar Parrikar, HJS or RSS?
