Lusofonia has no colonial association: Bhakta PTI, PANAJI | 26 August 2013 18:05 IST Indian contingent for the forthcoming Lusofonia Games in Goa will be named as India (Goa), the organisers said.
The Games are a Portuguese Commonwealth event, in which all the Portuguese-speaking countries can take part, Goa Olympics Association President Gurudatta Bhakta said, denying that it had any colonial associations. ----- Comments Some confusion here. Goa is no longer Portuguese speaking "country" and neither is India. The Games has "colonial association" and it's no point in Bhakta trying to deny this. Bombay and Bengal also came under the Portuguese for some period in their histories. No doubt Goa experienced the longest rule of the Portuguese. eugene
