Watching today’s print episode from Goa, bcz I’m a Goan. So happy and so proud that Shekhar ji took notice of our small yet important state, contrary to other media houses covering IPL Auction, WAR, etc. Lots of Love and support from Goa to PRINT team
Honestly, I have given up on politics in India... But Mr Shekhar bring me back again ❤
Today when India is relatively strong everyone is critical of Nehru. Imagine his plight, Pakistan a NATO ally constantly sniping at India and India not having such a strong military and also a weak economy, he was being asked to take on a NATO member. People critical of Nehru don't ask how come we have not been able to recover our Chinese occupied territories ( even if some of them were occupied in Nehru's time).
You should have given some credit to Krishna Menon, the then Defence Minister , who prevailed upon Jawaharlal Nehru that it was time to use force.
Its worthy to mention here the atrocities of Portuguese captured so well in the MOG, the museum of Goa
Sir, also would have been worth while mentioning some Maharashtrian activist and revolutionaries like Senapati, Bapat and Gomantak movement.
“The tolerance to corruption among people of Goa is very high. We are sitting idle, as there is not a single complaint of bribery or disproportionate assets in the state against officers from the people for the past five years,”
Thank you for this great work.
Thank you shekar sir for bringing up goa a tiny state.Good to know about the past history.
Sir, plz make video on "Moplah hindu " Genocide and so called mahatma gandhis take on that so that our secular hindus mind will open little bit
Fascinating - As always. Thank you.
Salacar was not the only significant dictator in Europe to have survived WW2. General Franco of Spain also did and he seems to be more significant than Salacar.
Mr Gupta you did not mention that the first free elections were held in Goa shortly after its liberation and a non-Congress party the MGP, came into power. Portugal had to wait till the mid-1970s for its first truly democratically elected government. It is the only instance in the world where a former colony adopted democracy before the colonial power. The election in Goa softened anti-India feelings in several western countries, and showed the difference between Nehru the democrat, and Salazar the dictator.
Nice recollections , educative
Revisiting History so also your publication 😊 🙏✍️🙏
Truly a great capture of history
Thank you sir!
