The PHACTS (being questioned): a: YES, Hindus brutalised other Hindus (the caste system being just the tip of the iceberg). b: YES, Hindu and Muslim 'kings' took turns in ravaging Goa and the women living in Goa before the Portuguese arrived . c: YES, Hindu and Muslim 'kings' took turns in destroying each others places of worship in Goa before the Portuguese arrived COMMENT: In both the fields I am involved with, "revising the evidence" is thought (by the crooked) to 'take care of business'. Once that was done, it was believed (erroneously IMHO), a "new truth" would be known. Such was the fantasy of the revisionist-politicians who roamed the corridors of power in India, about 2 decades ago. Do I really have to provide any evidence of the APARTHEID discrimination aka the Caste System. (Please, save me the rather fanciful spin). Fortunately, the harijans are still alive today. And, despite the Revisionists' efforts to discredit world renowned Indian historians, the references remain for those who want to ascertain for themselves. I am not a specialist in spoon-feeding, trying to explain and re-explain to every John or Janardhan come lately. Go check for yourself. I know I have referred to them for a number of my posts (on the net) - even acknowledged the works of others. Those in denial, those who don horse-blinders and ostriches......please go fly a kite. To all others: I suggest that we accept ALL the sins of ALL of our forebears and work towards reconciliation with each other. jc BTW: Jokers who want to use the usual and well-worn comeback lines related to Child Abuse and the Inquisition, please save your froth for someone else. My published views on those and other topics, are well known. ps: I did omit ONE other PHACT ..... I will add it here. d: YES, Hindus brutalised Catholics (even dismembered a well known Catholic priest - a school in Goa is named after him) and other Christians. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
