1) Miguel, if he did indeed ask David Futers not to visit Goa every year,
is NOT justified in doing so. Nor in questioning Dave's or Marlon's
contributions to Goa. He should have checked first. Both Dave's and
Marlon's contributions to Goa are well recorded and appreciated.
I have in the past written on this topic. India claims to be a democracy
and for a democracy to function, a free and independent press is a
prerequisite. The strength of Western democracies rests on the pillars, one of them
being
a free press.

What would one call a Sikh who has been convicted in the Air India
tragedy who claims that he 'never intended that the bomb he put together, to kill
anyone'. It is purely bara baje logic from a turbine wearing person.

Goa was not part of a country called India for the simple reason a =

Nationality and Goanness are not subject to definitions and using a dictionary by

And what kind of liberation is this when an alien government takes
over a territory by force, imposes their law and does not even care for
the population's opinion? (ever!). Very good democracy indeed. And of
course, almost the same happened in all the other princely states just
after 1947.
It is incredible that one Miguel, who claims to possess a PhD, inflicts on goanet
readers his obsenities by abusing Bernardo who has all the right to maintain a
political point of view. I have very little respect for persons who feel that they can
villify others instead of convincing them
