Interesting article to follow, if a little unfactual and all over the place, but have a read:

"Sorrowing Lies My Land" is a very famous novel by journalist Lambert Mascarenhas, first published in 1955, but last available in hardback at The Other India Bookstore, Mapusa, or Hotel Mandovi Bookshop, Panjim, amongst other outlets.

It recounts the growing repression of the Portugese colonials, particularly under the authority of Salazar prior to revolution??/ liberation?? / invasion??, and is a manifesto for self rule in the hope of better things to come.

Goan academics are still at loggerheads as to these various "historical truths" to this day. In many ways the continuing debate, the debacle over the withdrawl of the controversial historical DVD two years ago (you can see large extracts of it on youtube) , do little more than divert attention from the true realities of Goan society as they stand today.

Incidentally, it is my contention that the British held a very brief and never mentioned period of rule in Goa during the Napoleonic Wars when Portugal had become our enemy as part of Bonaparte's Empire. Certainly, there is a well maintained English Cemetary on the left, down a hill at the entrancre to Raj Bhavan. There are about forty overground tombs (which would be about right after a few years of tropical diseases), but the walls are too high to climb and the large gate is well padlocked so I couldn't get to see any inscriptions/dates.

Does anyone else know anything about this?

Regards

(noni - to do that I copied the url into the clipboard, highlighted the word 'elsewhere', clicked on the little picture of a world with chains attached, and pasted into the box that popped up. Hey presto a link).

** an expression that probably came into my head 'cos I've just had an excellent mutton curry at Arpoorva in Mumbai (Fort district)
