Floriano-bab, I am bit confused. I quote verbatim some of the things General Ramalho Eanes said in that interview.
Question: In 1958 you went to Goa Ramalho Eanes (RE) In Goa I learnt a lot of good and bad things.......Goa met all the conditions because we have made something there which we had not managed to make anywhere else. A new culture had been created which was not ours but it wasn't Indian either. Q: In 1962 you went to Macau. Macau also had conditions met to be independent. RE: Never. In Macau there were Chinese and Portuguese.In Goa...an elite which was neither Portuguese nor Indian...it was Goan. Q: B*ut in Macau there was no mix of races* RE: That is true. One of my greatest disappointments was, when I arrived in Macau, I realized that Goa was not our model , after all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
