Re: [Goanet] Goa's Freedom Fighters - Only one
I do plan on using Fredrick's material for sunday entertainment: the web-site belonging to Mascarenhas, the casino comic's co-agitator, and admirer of "Pope Michael." 'Global paranoia' is a medical term, and it contrasts with the 'encapsulated' form. The globe certainly appears to have offered Mascarenhas a large stage for his allencompassed fears. The pattern is not uncommon and, very sadly, the likes of Sukarno, Nasser and Ahmadinajad prevail, just too often. eric. --- On Thu, 6/25/09, Santosh Helekar wrote Actually, according to one independent source posted on Goanet as just another version of history, the lone Goan patriot is a Chinese national quite happily serving under the communist dictatorial special administrative control of the government of China.

Re: [Goanet] Goa's Freedom Fighters - Only one
Dear Bernado, Except for the brief period before and after the 1967 Opinion Poll, I am not aware of any PIDEesque 'roughing up' of Goans post-1961. Sure there is a serious doubt whether Norman Dantas' death was by pure accident, and the Goa journos have behaved (by and large) like wooses and lackeys - but the topic at hand is NOT post-1961 Goa but pre-1961 Goa. When I joined the Lar (a number of years after Pde Chico Monteiro had 'left' it), I did notice that my seniors at the Lar were in awe of him. On a number of occasions I heard them say how good a man he was and how upset they were at his treatment. I never met the man - but Dom Martins' script saddened me immensely. How could they come to liberate Goans and treat them in such a way? especially (what I understand to be) a gentle and kind Goan like Chico Monteiro? I remain surprised (or perhaps I should not be) that a good man like Pde Chico does not feature prominently in the writings of ostensibly fair-minded people in the Goa press or on Goanet. BTW: I am unable to tell you much about 'about the Goan Catholics losing jobs at GMC just after the events of 61'. First of all, there was No GMC "just after the events of '61'. It was the Escola Medica. Secondly, I was still in school in Poona in 1961. So, I would not know for sure. I did however happen to meet and get to know (very well) Dr. Rodrigues (Aires' father) in Ribandar. He was running the Emergency Room, and I was a second year MBBS student doing my rotation in Ribandar when I first met him. A very decent and hard working man, Dr. Rodrigues. I did not hear of any dismissals from the Escola Medica group, but I did get the feeling that the Portuguese speaking Escola graduates were suppressed. BTW: It is good that we are (now) able to discuss these things openly, and shed some of the hypocrisy some of us are up to. jc 2009/6/25 Bernado Colaco : I agree that PIDE was rough specially in Portugal, but you must also agree that the regime post 61 in Goa also acted in the same manner. Unfortunately Fr. Chico was the only Goan freedom fighter to have held the candle alone. Unlike the so called nameless freedom fighters that some is trying to eulogise on GN, Fr. Chico Goa's only true Freedom Fighter worked for the benefit of Goan youth. The rest of Goan intellectuals were sacred of the fascist democracy. Goans are still scared of bharat repercussions if they dissent. Goanet please hold a poll. Please tell us about the Goan Catholics losing jobs at GMC just after the events of 61. Best wishes BC
[Goanet] Goa's Freedom Fighters - Only one
Hello Doutor Jose, I agree that PIDE was rough specially in Portugal, but you must also agree that the regime post 61 in Goa also acted in the same manner. Unfortunately Fr. Chico was the only Goan freedom fighter to have held the candle alone. Unlike the so called nameless freedom fighters that some is trying to eulogise on GN, Fr. Chico Goa's only true Freedom Fighter worked for the benefit of Goan youth. The rest of Goan intellectuals were sacred of the fascist democracy. Goans are still scared of bharat repercussions if they dissent. Goanet please hold a poll. Please tell us about the Goan Catholics losing jobs at GMC just after the events of 61. Best wishes BC Whatever harm the goons of the Azad Gomantak Dal may have done to Goa's civil society, it did not provide justification for the suppressive actions by the PIDE against Goan intellectuals and other members of Goan society. Would you agree with me ? BTW: I could not tell you if ALL the pre-1961Goan intellectuals were innocent or not. I will only say that - unless they were found guilty in a just court of law, they are presumed innocent. There are numerous 'charges' and accusations. Unless they have been proven or the criminal acts self-accepted, I suggest that we consider the folk innocent. Talking about violent acts (or what Mario Goveia would calls "acts of terror") there are a few chaps who have proudly claimed ownership of those acts, and have been rewarded for them.( I will locate the link and post it another time)
