(contd) and that's not the bad part either. The brutality with which some of the non-Christian Goans were treated with was there for the world to see. This was what drove many of those Goans to ask the Indian union for help. India only obliged to hear her sons and daughters out. After all a mother cannot be quiet when her children are subject to torture by an ALIEN people. Today Goans of every background and faith enjoy decent lives. Goa strives to be a secular state just like the other states.

I think all the Portuguese forget one thing that Portugal is in Europe... Goa is in the INDIAN continent. How does that make a few Goans Portuguese ? besides... Goa was full of Hindus of Marathi origin for hundreds of years before that asshole Vasco Da Gama came with a bunch of pirates and filthy sailors to loot the land. They also brought disease to the local population. Since then Goa had been subject to slavery... thousands of Hindus/Muslims converted to Christianity forcefully.

Any trace of Portuguese in the State of Goa should be WIPED out. These Portuguese should have left when the Indian army kindly requested them to... too bad they didn't and the mighty Indian Army had to kick their asses out of the country. Cowards just ran for their life. Who calls an ancient piece of Indian land a part of Portugal ? what a joke ! Goa, a proud and integral part of India.

The government of Portugal here are brainwashing children's education by telling them lies, when in reality Goa had always belonged to Portugal. And the invasion of 61 was against Gandhi's prophecies, Gandhi himself would not be proud.
