CRIMINALS DURING INVASION OF GOA By A. Veronica Fernandes

On today’s date, 18^th December, in 1961 at about 10.00 PM when it was realized that invasion of Goa is going to be a reality on the next day, some criminal “Bastards” from Candolim in a group of around 8 persons, all males, came with Guns to kill the prominent village personality Dr. Gustavo Monteiro. They projected themselves as pro-Bharati and Dr. Monteiro as pro-Portuguese.

The first thing they did was to fire gun shots about 40-50 on the door of Dr. Monteiro.  This door helped Dr. Monteiro and his family as barricade from the onslaught of the gunshots from the criminals, the so called freedom fighters and also the so called pro-Bharatis from Candolim only and who earlier enjoyed many benefits from the Potuguese government of Goa thru the goodwill of Dr. Monteiro. If the door of the house was not closed immediately, there would be a blood bath in the house of Dr. Monteiro.

These so called pro-Bharati Freedom Fighters thought they will be the rulers of the village and Goa.  But as a matter of fact, in the invaded Goa under Bharati Raj they suffered too much in the life, all of them died miserable deaths, their children faced worst of difficulties in their life and their houses also collapsed without keeping any traces.

These so called pro-Bharati Goans had no liking for Bharati rule but they had the liking for their personal vendetta which they tried to acquire. Though they succeeded in some cases but failed in case of Dr. Gustavo Monteiro.

Similary, they also failed to finish Fr. Mendonca the Principal of Arpora School when they came to kill him at Arpora taking advantage of the invasion of Goa.  But sensing some tragic outcome, Fr. Mendonca fled from Arpora School and took shelter in Bastora at Nuns’ Convent thereby dodging his killers.

There must be more such incidents in Goa during the invasion period of Goa.  Those who are aware of such incidents they must share with others so that posterity knows what has happened to some sons of Goa in the process of invasion of Goa by Nehru’s Bharat.

ON 19^TH DECEMBER 1961, GOA WAS NOT LIBERATED BUT INVADED AGAINST THE WISHES OF MAJORITY OF GOANS. I WANTED PORTUGUESE OUT FROM MY BELEVOED GOA  BUT DEFFINETELY NOT THE BHARATI RAJ IN GOA.  BHRATI RAJ IS A RAJ OF FILTH – CORRUPTION – CHOR – LOOTERS AND BAD GOVERNANCE. I WAS MADE BHARATI CITIZEN NOT BY MY CHOICE BUT BY FORCE BY THE BHARATI GOVERNMENT HEADED BY THE DICTATOR NEHRU WHO WITHOUT TAKING US INTO CONFIDENCE INVADED GOA.
