Folks, Since the objective of the above is to turn everything upside down, I feel that the priest has not done as good a job as he could. If, and this is a big if, I were to embark of such a project, I would contest that most of the temples collapsed and turned into dust at the very sight of the arrival of the true religion on its sacred land. Dear Mervyn What makes you think that the Rev. Dr Victor Ferrao's objective of the above is to turn everything upside down? If you have been in touch with recent scholarship of Goan history you will find that there nothing exceptionable about Fr Victor's remarks. Rather you seem like an ignoramus wading into a quicksand when you say that you contest that most of the temples collapsed and turned into dust at the very sight of the arrival of the true religion on its sacred land. Please don't disgust us with such unscientific and stupid statements. Augusto -- Augusto Pinto 40, Novo Portugal Moira, Bardez Goa, India E pinto...@gmail.com P 0832-2470336 M 9881126350
