Goa won its political freedom from the Portuguese colonial rule through armed intervention in 1961, just as did the former colonialists themselves in 1974. Sadly, we witness still signs of discordance about the historic rupture. Most Portuguese ignore that a significant role in the Operation Vijay was played by Goan officers. The colonial provocations may be only academic and harmless for now, discussing “many Goas”, as it happened this week at an international congress convened at the Catholic University of Portugal, where colonial saudades were relived.
