@aqoaq dude, no offense but clifftonlondon is speaking the truth when he says we were part of Portugal, and will always be.

We were part of Portugal for more than 500 years, and have been less than a century part of India.

India, invaded us, corrupted our politics, weakened our borders from savages, like you, who rape our women, and litter our streets and beautiful beaches.

Y'all embarrass us, by making bias and stereotypical movies about us.

You guys are holding us back.

VIVA LA GOA!

@MrGhenchus Dude, how would you feel if someone came to your house, shoot your parents, and live in the same house with you, only making your life more miserable. Same concept here.

Unlike the Britishers, who treated India ruthlessly, the Portuguese actually cared. They gave us govt, gave us an education, thought us to live lives like good civilians, not savages.

After the invasion, everything went bad; our govt was corrupted, our borders were weakened, our streets being little by "non-Goans".

@qwerty51899 Ha, that's right! The Republic of India insisted in seeing Goa, Daman and Diu as "colonies" of Portugal, whilst Portugal and the Goese, Damanese and "Diuans" saw the territories as singularly indo-portuguese! By the way, the U.N. saw Portuguese India distinct from "Bharat" too! In Africa that's a different case! Regardles, whether Portugal or India were right or wrong, I just admire his presumptuousness disguised as logic, congruity and moral truth! Brilliant

@Rotebuehl1 Bro...He was just referring to portugal's adamant nature not to let go of it's colonies, inspite of all the european powers abdicating the same. Hence he said the statement.  I do not think he commented on the whole race of portuguese or the entire nation of portugal. THe remark is just limited to that moment of time and not valid now.

@qwerty51899 It's impressive! The power of rhetorics! All he said was fallacious, all he suggested was mere pretension! But beautifully put and what an eloquence and class! That's how one makes black look white with cheekbones to die for...hahaha

HANDSOME, INTELLIGENT and ARTICULATE....All the traits of a Kashmiri Brahmin Pundit:) Try comparing Mr. Kaul with these ugly, uneducated, corrupt fuckers like the present day Indian politicians....lol

[Rotebuehl1]

@qwerty51899 Perfect demagogy! That's how things are done! Fantastic! A loose assertion, nothing else! But very effective...

[Rotebuehl1]

Fantastic demagoguery! That's how politics are implemented! Kaul, a liar and a genious politician! Great!

If u want to know, than so be it, Goa was invaded by India, w/out any warning whatsoever; Goa's population's a little over India's Military force, even if v wanted 2 separate w/ a peaceful treaty v'd b denied, if v wanted 2 separate by our will, as in fight 2 get our freedoms, we would loose statistically anyways. There have been numerous conflicts b/w d Goans & d Indian Govt, some bout drugs, politics, & even bout our lang. I wud muchly appreciate if v kept religions out of this, not worth it.

@TheCruzerflash If that's so, where is armed opposition to Indian rule there?Any freedom fighters rising up against Indian "tyranny"? Now, give me an answer with the ground picture as a reference and the dreams conjured up by the condescending catholic church.

@qwerty51899 Geographically it's been a part of our planet earth for millions of years, India became "India" on August 15 1947; and they weren't welcomed, they invaded Goa in 1961, made Goa a state in 1987, so to answer your statement, Goa hasn't even part of India for half a century.
