Knowing and understanding the past helps us to understand ourselves better. There was a time when Goa was overflowing with Religious Tourism, which added to the economy. Grasping the scope of one’s inheritance should give a more nuanced base to make our decisions. To the diaspora, the land has the ashes of their ancestors and is the abode of our deities and saints. We hope to unfreeze the events by presenting to the readers the when, why, and how of past events.
We
hope you enjoy reading this aspect of GEM history. There is a lot of
“food for thought.” Please forward these articles to your relatives, friends,
peers, Indian and Iberian chat sites. Sharing history is sharing our cultural
heritage; the work is for us, by us. Thank you for allowing us to share this
with you.
Sincerely,
