General Vassalo e Silva, the last Portuguese
Governor of Goa. He worked hard for the development
of Goa, resisted Salazar's orders, saved Goa from
destruction, and suffered as a result. Are
Goans being told anything about him?

The 1975
Treaty between Portugal and India
Since the 1975 reproachment Portugal has afforded India
significant assistance with regards to access to the
European Economic Community.
TGF
supports this 1975 treaty between Portugal and India.
More can be gained by being friends, and more lost by

Only a Goan
can gauge as to what he has won or lost since the so
called Liberation.

Ever since the so called Liberation, Goa has achieved nothing but economic decline.

Why TGF disagrees with some of
Imran's views.
TGF:

To say that Goa has achieved nothing but economic decline
since 1961 is not only incorrect but also patently
prejudicial .[read

Instead
of wishing that “Goa could have basked in the Portuguese
glory” it is time that we Goans stand on our own feet
and create a “glory” all our own.

TGF's post has fallacies
Nitin Singh:
May 21, 2002
Did I
actually read “communal harmony” as one of the credits
of the Portuguese rule?
What I fail
to understand is what is SO insulting about the word “Goanese”.
Is it really THAT offensive?
I am hoping TGF can shed some light on this.

Goans in
need of a quantum shift
S.Badwal

If
the development & well being of Goa and Goans is at the
very heart of some people, then let them preach hard
work sacrifice and foresight rather than otherwise.
Development & success need a lot of hard work and
relaxed life can not be expected & enjoyed all the
times.

Please never compare the Marwaris, Malabaris and
Madrasis with the Goans. The entire world is aware of
the difference. There is a beautiful Portuguese term
for a Goan. Please, avoid being influenced by
pseudo-intellectuals.

you have decided that I am NOT a Goan just based on my
