Awake Goa And Protest the Evils of 1961

©Prakash Joao Maskaren. 15^th December 2002.
In a few days, yet another anniversary of the invasion, occupation and annexation of Portuguese India by the Indian Union, and its illegal pretended absorbtion will pass the great sleeping people of Goa by. It has been forty-one years since this monstrous crime was perpetrated, but the voices raised against it are still too few, feeble and faint. The loudest noise is that of the great snoring Goan people.

Forty-one years ago, the Indian Union spun around us a tissue of lies, with the active, direct and material aid and assistance of the most influential institution amongst us, the New Catholic Church, and put us to sleep, so that it could rob us of our country, enslave us and make us foreigners in our own homeland.

Fourty-one years ago, the Indian Union committed gross and unjustifiable acts of unprovoked aggressions against our country, the Estado da India Portuguesa. Fourty-one years ago, on 18th December 1961, we encountered our 9/11 - the day that the terrorists of the Al'Qaida struck at the USA. And those who struck out at us, at our country, at our institutions and our rights, were they not also terrorists?

Yes, they were, for this is the judgement of International Law, of the Nuremberg Trials (of the Nazi officers after World War II).

Forty-one years down the line, the Indian Union has succeeded and succeeded spectacularly in its aims and objectives: the vast majority of the citizens of the Estado da India Portuguesa are now non-resident, and the Indian Union's colonists outnumber us on the ground. Nor is this all: the work of overthrowing, uprooting and destroying utterly our five hundred years old Indo-Lusitanian, Christian culture, wrought by such exemplars as Affonso de Albuquerque, St. Francis Xavier, Father Jose Vaz, Fr. Agnelo Gustavo de Souza, etc., etc., has been flourishing: today, 'Goa' has a BJP 'Chief Minister' - Manohar Parikkar! The rape of Goa - cultural, demographic, environmental, etc., goes on apace, the while our people sleep beautifully on.

It is time to awake. It is time to awake and cry a stop, to tell off these criminals that enough is enough, that our country is not a part of the Indian Union and that in our country, the Indian Union is just as much an invader and an interloper as Pakistan is in 'Azad Kashmir'!

It is time to awaken and to fight, to fight to redeem our precious homeland, our precious culture, our precious heritage.

On the website, GoanCauses, an A. V. Fernand has written: "The Church in Goa is not doing much to stress on the gravity of Goa�s disaster. The Church can do a lot, even after Dec. 19, 1961 when Christians were falsely accused of being pro-Portuguese by the pro-Hindu sectarian MGP. All during this time, the Church has remained a silent spectator. It is a time now for the Church to directly and openly preach the gospel of justice, clean administration and egalitarian form of society � in conformity with Christian doctrine - in Goa and since the Church is in a better position to take up this issue with the ability to influence a lot of people, I think the Church should take up this issue immediately. I think there is no one in a better position to do the same. In the past the Church has done good work for the protection of Goa and its identity. Hence, a Church role now is imperative."

What the people like Fernand do not understand is that it is this very Church that has actively, directly and materially joined with our enemy - the Indian Union, in its plan to overthrow our society and culture. This is because the New Catholic Church wants to build a new society - one that is not consonant with the Catholic ethos. And in this, too, they have succeeded, because we slept on blissfully.

It is time to recognize that this Church has abandoned Catholicism and Christ, and with it, the matter of the faith that drove Affonso de Albuquerque, St. Francis Xavier, Father Jose Vaz, Fr. Agnelo Gustavo de Souza, etc., etc., to make the sacrifices and labours that they undertook. It is time for us to recognize that this Church is not the Catholic Church, but some bastard Protestant sect masquerading as the Catholic Church, with a fake, clown pope, and all. The true Catholic Pope is Michael the First, (http://PopeMichael.homestead.com) and it is to him that we must repair in order to recover our heritage.

I make no apologies for mixing Religion and Politics. The truth is indivisible, and God is the source of all truth. Religious truth is the first and highest truth, and all other truths are subordinate to it. Our salvation always come first, and patriotism must be subordinated to it. But just as we are obliged to be faithful to God, according to the First Commandment, we are also obliged to be patriotic. We must fight for the honour and liberty of our country, for justice and for truth.

And the truth is that our Country, the Estado da India Portuguesa never legally or freely joined the Indian Union, that the Indian Union invaded our country without just cause and pretendedly incorporated it without our free and informed consent, or any consent at all, merely trusting in its conquistadorism. And this we must reject, entirely and completely.

Therefore, I ask of you, I beg of you, awaken! Awake, for we are under threat, our very survival as a people is at stake. If we must survive, we must fight for our rights. We must proclaim from the rooftops that the actions of 18th & 19th December 1961 (and of 1954, in Dadra & Nagar-Avelim) are illegal, null, void, and criminal, and that these actions must be reversed!
