Re: [Goanet] Lambert Mascarenhas: Still sorrowing for his land
FYI: The Father snuffed the breath out of the ceaserian delivered child so that he could claim INSURANCE thro' LIFELONG PENSION. Who the hell was bothered about the CHILD and its Bloody Future, anyway??? Why take more headaches to have the child grow-up and be provided with a future?? See? the lifelong Pension has fortified me enough to climb the stairs of my house any number of times at a ripe age of 98. Is that bad? Am I not doing just fine?? floriano goasuraj 9890470896 www.goasu-raj.org - Original Message - From: Jose Colaco cola...@gmail.com To: Gabriel de Figueiredo gdefigueir...@yahoo.com.au; Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994! goanet@lists.goanet.org Cc: Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994! goanet@lists.goanet.org Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2012 4:06 PM Subject: Re: [Goanet] Lambert Mascarenhas: Still sorrowing for his land From: Goanet News Service goanet.refor...@bell.net Mr Mascarenhas still pines for the Goa of the past.

Re: [Goanet] Lambert Mascarenhas: Still sorrowing for his land
What did he expect? That Goa would be left alone, after liberation? That Goa would not be swamped by Indians, after having lived in Bombay/Mumbai, and seen the utter corruption and dadagiri, the latter being the results of prohibition and sever controls on imports?

He, and other free-dole-farters should return all that they have received by way of PENSIONS. It was not pensions but a tape on their miserable mouths, so they could not utter a single word for GOA.

Quote: Much credit goes to those Goans who put their lives on the block in their pursuit of freedom. However, what became debatable to right thinking men and women in Goa was, whether their motive was to oust one occupier and make way for another; or to take over the reins themselves and let the U.N. declare an addition to the family of nations, like it did East Timor four decades later. But soon their intentions were laid bare. Jawaharlal Nehru’s ‘OperationVijay’ sealed the fate of Goans forever. Unquote. Bennet Paes
