Dears,
The GT of January 16, 2008 page A5 carried this golden nugget of history
from the Convenor of Youth for Goa [YFG or Baby GMAS], Miss Malisa Simoes
[only incidentally, the niece of Matanhy Saldanha] in the very last
paragraph of the feature article under the headline "Young and Restless" by
Andrew Pereira.
QUOTE "The HISTORY of Goa should be taught from PRE-historic times to date
and we should have 60 percent local history taught in schools as is done in
most states of the country. Importance should be given to DEVELOP and
project personalities, who are icons of Goa." she concludes.UNQUOTE
# Capitals for emphasis are mine.
Your opinions, please.
Mog asundi.
Miguel
PS
I am willing to write a chapter on pre-historic Goans in Gondwanaland and
their involuntary migration to the Indian sub-continent .... along with
their native land mass along the tectonic fault .... for no fault of theirs
;-)
