"My far-from-complete lists of Goan commissioned officers in India's armed forces feature 286 names - Army 144, Navy 36 and IAF 106. Of the 286 Goans who helped defend the nation's borders and honour, 263 (or 92%) are the MGP's "unpatriotic, anti-national" Goan Catholics, who comprise 30% of the population. 65% of Goa's Hindu population, in all, accounts for 23 defence officers."
This is an interesting news to be told again and again. In last few Defence recruitment drive in Goa passing percentage is single digit. I am also interested 'and if author could provide us' the date of joining of these 286 Goan commissioned officers in India's armed forces feature. Shrikant Vinayak Barve
