You have read the story I told you of looting after the annexation of Goa as related by the Portuguese information officer Leo Lawrence. Here is now the story as related by the Time Magazine issue of January 5, 1962 in an article entitled "India: Morning After":
QUOTE Goa's virtually duty-free status sent swarms of Indian soldiers into shops stocked with inexpensive foreign luxury items seldom seen in India because of the government's stringent import restrictions. Shopkeepers did a brisk business in transistor radios, cameras, electric appliances, cosmetics, perfumes, wines. In one Pangim shop alone, Indian soldiers bought 1,400 Max Factor lipsticks. Truckloads of refrigerators were purchased by army officers for shipment home. UNQUOTE ...India: Morning After, Time Magazine, January 5, 1962 Cheers, Santosh
