"The seventh sin was the invasion of Goa by bharat. For decades Goa has faced moribund governance by the new rulers of neo colonial Goa." BC Actually,Nehru in 1961 was atoning for his sin of not integrating Goa into India sooner in 1947/48 like the "police" action in Hyderabad from the Nizam!He was atoning for trying to reason with the Tinpot,Crackpot Dictator and Megalomaniac,Salazar(hero to some) into having a negotiated settlement. On a recent visit to Portugal,we were surprised that Salazar was forgotten and no one wanted to talk about him anymore.Even the Pont de Salazar was renamed to Pont 25 de Abril! Finally Portugal got freedom and democracy only in 1974 and was rid of it's dictatorship! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnation_Revolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/António_de_Oliveira_Salazar VASANT BALIGA
