Dear Menezes
Regarding the document you are interested in, I think you should write to the Brazilian consul in New Delhi :
Pedro

Assunto: Research for my second book

Dear Mr. Pedro Mascarenhas and members of Goa-Research.,
I feel honoured to find myself in your group.
I have written a book: The Portuguese Presence in India; Latter Day Thorns amidst Tranquilities, which is sold on amazon and flipcart.
I am working on a second book as a continuation of this book.
It is rather late in the day to make this request but if anyone can send me a photocopy of the identification and travel document issued by the Brazilian Embassy in Delhi  to the Portuguese Prisoners of War who had to change carrier at Karachi, for inclusion in my book I would much appreciate.
Regards,
Joao A De Menezes, alias John Menezes
Mumbai, India

Mr Menezes, you'll need a lot of luck to find this! But one never knows....

Why not try out the Memórias da India Portuguesa page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/indiaportuguesamemories Another space you coudl also check with is the Indo-Portuguese History Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/indoportuguesehistory/

All the best, FN

Dear Pedro,
Thank you for your kind suggestion. After the Indo Portuguese Treaty was signed by Mr. Y.B. Chavan and Dr. Mario Soares on December 31, 1974, all the archives in the Brazilian Embassy in Delhi pertaining to Portuguese India were packed  by the embassy in a box and the box was handed over to Dr. Mario Soares and taken to Lisbon, and the Portuguese, in June of the same year, opened a consular office  in a hotel in Delhi headed by Dr. Gabriel Mesquita de Brito. Today the embassy has nothing pertaining to Portuguese India.
Regards and best wishes,
John

Dear Frederick,
To access Memorias da India Portuguesa on Facebook looks practical and I shall try it. Thank you for your kind suggestion.
