Dear members,
The paragaraph I am going to quote below is from a document dated 1891. Very briefly it refers to a Goan resistance in Zanzibar in 1891. I'm familiar with the republican movement in Portugal. I'm not at all sure Goans in Zanzibar were influenced by it. I would like to hear your brief comments on republicanism in Portugal (and if possible its over-reach into Goa in the 1800s.)
"And if, like me, Your Excellency does not listen to them and the King
does not welcome them, I will also ask permission to tell Your Excellency that
they will naturally turn
to the republicans, so that they have someone at the rallies to applaud
them when they speak against the vice-consul, against the consul general,
against the Minister and against the King."
Many thanks,
Selma
