RIP L.Mascarenhas. He lived for more than a century and saw the destruction of Goa after 1961. The so called freedom fighters were the protagonist's of the death knell of Goa. These is a paragraph written (NT) by one D. Almeida when interviewing Xri. Mascarenhas in 2012. "It is with a sense of nostalgia and pride that he looks back on the days gone by. He returned to Goa at a time when a man was measured by his bearing and demeanour and it was honourable to fight the good fight. Talk about today and he gets bitter with the way things have turned out. He expressed his anger in one sentence, "Write that Lambert Mascarenhas has said that he preferred the Goa of the Portuguese days." BCSorrowing lies my Land.----------------------A Great Goan has left us, but his legacy lives on. I still remember when he and Jolly visited us at our Sutton homestead and again when I was entertained by the couple at their Dona Paula mansion many years ago during my trip to Goa. He will be remembered not just as a Freedom Fighter, journalist, author and Founder Editor of the prestigious GOA TODAY magazine, but as a great son of Goa. I hope the country and Goans the world over will do this great Goan proud. My deepest sympathy to Jolly and all the family - please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
