Nasci, thanks for clearing this all up, especially the
'de facto' and 'fait accompli' part, which is what I
have been imploring the Portophiles/Lusophiles among
us to recognize for months now.

BTW, don't you just love the Machiavellian concept of

No such thing as a colony. Voila, the nationalists
become insurgents and the liberators become the
"invaders". I'll bet the other European colonialists
wish they had thought of this idea :-))

Re: [Goanet] Past BBC programmes on Goa
Marlon said that USA back Portugual during the Indian army's march into Goa. USA played a double role. In his memoirs, GK Galbraith has explained it all. Nehru had Kennedy's backing. However, Portuguese call on US to help them as NATO ally fell on deaf ears. Subsequent crying by Portugal was ignored by Washington. As far as I know Portugal has not offically recognized Goa's liberation. Portugal only restored diplomatic relations which were cut off after 1961. Eugene __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [Goanet] Past BBC programmes on Goa
Cornel,
When there was this invasion by the Indian armed
forces, into Goa, ('de jure' Goa was the 'Overseas
Province of Portugal' even before the 'Union of India'
the present entity, was born on the 15th August
1947.)the Potuguese Govt, abandoned Goa and fled. The
act of surender was not signed. So India was in 'de
facto' control and in government of Goa. Only a few
years after, things stabilised; the Govts of India and
Portugal started talking again, and then after many
'talks' an agreement was reached and a 'de jure'
transfer of Goa was performed. It was a good ten years
I think. Does the date matter? It's a 'fait accompli'.
