Good riddance to the old fascist.....but its cleared the way for that other tw*t, Modi. I often wonder when India, young India, is going to rise up politically and get rid of the corrupt greedy avaricious self serving idiots who rule the roost at the moment and that includes 90% of the Gandhi clan and around 90% of the BJP too.The strange thing is though that Bihar in productivity and governance leaves Gujarat behind ! Thats where the BJP should be looking for a leader.:amen:

Thank you so much for that info.
Got stuck into it then?.............. Will try tosource a copy in the UK. Thank you again :) . I am a bit late in coming back to comment on this post. have just finished the book after getting back to the uk and ordering it from the local library. Very gripping and informative and shocking and sad. yes it is part of a trilogy and I have only read this one which I presume is No 3 . I will now try to get hold of the previous 2 ( even though they are not about Goa). Zimmler was named author of the year for his earlier book . As for this book it is a very graphic exploration of evil as well as being an excellent factual account of Goa in the 16th century. Not only did the inquisition probably exterminate most of the Jews living in Goa but the atrocities inflicted on the local Hindus and Jains were more than I had ever imagined. I can well understand how the memories of that time survive and are handed down within the families who were affected. |

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
The old Jewish community in Goa was situated in Betim or as it used to named Bethem. Once spent an afternoon wandering around the place looking for the cemetery or a trace of the buildings but apart from a large platform of laterite with some strange arches built into it there was no trace at all of their existance despite the fact they must have lived there for a couple of hundred years.Will look up the book though," thankyou"

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
If you use Kindle, it is available..........
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Guardian-Daw.../dp/1845290917 quite cheaply, as is a print copy. Simply answering "Guardian of the Dawn" is not adequate as another book by the same name written by William King comes up loads of times in a search, long before the Zimmler's effort. . |
