[Goanet] The liberation of Goa: How Nehru defied the U.S. and used force against the Portuguese

Every young Goan it seems wants to leave Goa. Such is the dismal situation perpetrated by the invaders since 1961 and yet there are a few who still after seeing the cesspool that we are in want to defend the events of 1961. BC I think a "bozou" is still a "bozou" if the person doesn't know

Hi Eugene— Now you are getting creative good. Awesome. Good usage of "bozou" and "bolinha." True Goan spirit. —Venantius J Pinto On Wed, Jan 3, 2018 at 9:10 AM, Eugene Correia wrote: > I think a "bozou" is still a "bozou" if the person doesn't know the facts >

I think a "bozou" is still a "bozou" if the person doesn't know the facts vis-a-vis the Liberation/ Aggression in Goa. The person can't assume to be a "bolinha" just because he or she thinks Nehru was at fault. zno doubt Nehru earned the wrath of many nations for abandonung his peace-loving

And the truth is here, too. Nehru washed away the pimple (Goa) from India's face, but left a huge scar (Kashmir) to fester till today.Bennet Paes On Wednesday 3 January 2018, 12:44:41 PM IST, Floriano Lobo wrote: The truth is here.

Love it!, from VJP to BJP. Boze, bolinhas, and firkeo. I just may may make it to the top layers of Goan society, with all the extended support that may suddenly be my lot after all these years. I am an intuit. Period. Many on Goanet are master analysts or so I still believe. —Venantius J Pinto

Still a bozou by any other name does not become a bolinha, nor for that matter, phirni. —Venantius J Pinto On Tue, Jan 2, 2018 at 6:42 PM, Venantius J Pinto wrote: > I see! > —Venantius > > On Tue, Jan 2, 2018 at 3:32 PM, Eugene Correia >

The words used By Venatius to characterize Nehtu seems like the current language used by the BJP to describe the Nehru family. i think Nehru was sincere in his remarks that Goa enjoys a distinct identity. But so was Pondicherry (now Puducherry). unlike the French, Portugal didn't want to leave

The story of Nehru defying Kennedy is "diplomatic" spin. Kennedy seemingly okayed India's plan but kept public silence. The US didn't get NATO into action as Portugal demanded. Portugal was part of the alliance. Kennedy was convinced that Portugal was adamant in clinging to Goa, USA

Nehru was a cockup and a showoff to put it kindly. He probably wanted to show to the African nationals that he was rad, and that he could show them what revolutions are all about! India, the nation and the ideas that are India, would have actually benefitted by having a cultural neighbor, that

What I find disconcerting is that our zealots ⁂ of all ilks (chikri pot), and ills (bonkan bott) love (mag kay, mah.kay, zalach pahije) what Nehru did vis-a-vis Goa; and / but they hate everything else about that pandit. Now does that say a little something about our 5,000 year and counting

The Praveen Davar article in the Hindu is either half-baked or conveniently omits an inconvenient truth. The much touted claim that the Portuguese were obstinate and Nehru was pushed into a corner by other Indians to use violence against Goa makes fools of thinking people. How about the
