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; and the work is for us, by
us. Thank you for allowing us to share this with you.
Hope this essay provides the readers with a framework of their historical journey. Doing the homework will prepare one for Shashi Tharoor’s words of wisdom: “If you do not know where you have been, how do you know where you seek to go? History belongs in the past, but understanding it is the duty of the present.”
Insights into Colonial Goa would
be an excellent and memorable Holiday gift.
