Dr. Josi Colago: Paraphrasing what der Herr Goebell used to say "If you tell a lie, OFTEN...even YOU would believe it" NOW.....where did we get this business about the Mangalorean Holocaust? I have to ask myself: IF Mangloreans were persecuted by Catholic (Portuguese), WOULD they remain Catholics and WOULD they retain Portuguese surnames until 1947 - at least? As far as " SAINT" TIPU SULTAN is concerned, I wonder what the Tiger of Mumbai has to say about him. After all ->much of the period of Tipu's rule was given to war with the Marathas.
Gilbert's response: I was wondering when the true scholar Dr. Josi Colago would step in the discussion and clarify the issue for the rest of us. Like a Khoro Niz Goenkar you have said it like it needs to be said. And like a supurlo Goenkar, I am nat following what you are munta. :=)) Poile svater, you may have read Mohan Prabhu's account. Dusrem svater, are you suggesting that Tipu Sultan should be made into a saint because he made so many genuine martyrs ani saints out of the Manglorean (former Goan) Catholics? Like he did por favor?
