Why Goa Is Indian
©Prax Maskaren. 20 Mai 2003.
Goa belongs to India by natural right because India and Goa have the same language and cultures - both are Christian, Latin cultures, both were ruled and formed by centuries of Portuguese rule; also because the majority of both speak the Konkannim language.
Goa belongs to India by natural right because India has always jealously guarded against any fragmentation of its territory. We know, for example, that India categorically refused to contenance and permit the cutting away of its territory to form the new states of Burma and Ceylon in 1937, on the basis of their Buddhist majority, or of Pakistan in 1947, on the basis of its Muslim majority. If anyone attempts to persuade and delude you otherwise, you can honestly answer that these states do not actually exist, except as virtual, imaginary states.
Goa belongs to India by natural right because when India went to war with the virtual, imaginary Pakistan in 1971, and captured a part of its territory (?), it did not, as alleged, 'graciously', freely and unconditionally restore this territory, but holds on to it to this day! That is because this territory always belonged to India by divine right.
Goa belongs to India by natural right because India has jealously refused any people or piece of territory of the Indian sub-continent, to exist as a separate state, independent of her. Therefore, before having invaded Goa, India fought bravely and courageously to invade and annex Nepal and Bhutan, besides Afghanistan, and annexed them. Don't let anyone tell you differently - there does NOT exist any Nepal, Bhutan or Afghanistan as actual states, but only as virtual, imaginary states.
Goa belongs to India because the Goan people have loudly, notoriously and consistently demanded that India invade Goa and expel the Portuguese and further that India gratuituously annex it without having to refer the matter to them. Goa belongs to India because the Goan people have been formally afforded the opportunity to vote in a referendum to become a part of the Indian Union and did so with enthusiasm and with unanimity. That Goans are blissfully unaware of this momentuous event is something else entirely.
China claims Tibet and Taiwan by natural right. It bases this right on the fact that China was once ruled by the foreign Manchurians, who also ruled Mongolia, Tibet, Korea, Vietnam, etc., until the erosion of their empire and until the complete collapse of the Manchu empire in 1911.
In 1911, when the Manchu empire collapsed, both China and Tibet regained their independence.
The Manchus, however, never ruled Taiwan. That island was inhabitated by aborigine Formosans, conquered by Portugal, conquered from them by the Dutch, conquered from them by a Chinese pirate who set himself up as an independent king, conquered from him by the Japanese, who ruled for some centuries until 1945, when, being defeated in World War II, the Allies severed Formosa from Japan and gave it to China.
Taiwan was ruled by Mainland China for the grand number of four (4) years - 1945-1949, when the Kuo Min Tang government was overthrown by the Communists and fled to the island. Since then, Taiwan has been de facto autocephalous.
But China presses its good right to Taiwan nevertheless.
Based on that logic, China should also have a good title to Greenland. Let see: The Mongols invaded and conquered China, Russia, etc., and made them part of their empire. Later the Russians, between the French Revolution and 1990, controlled, at various times, parts of Germany.
The Danes settled Denmark from Germany, and are cognate to the Germans. And Denmark rules Greenland, since the last two centuries or more.
By this chain, China is entitled to lay as much moral and legal claim to Greenland as it has to Tibet or Taiwan.
And India's claim to Goa is exactly of the same nature. That is, on the same basis, India can also lay claim to Greenland!
The English, who ruled India, are originally Germans. England was once ruled by the Danes. Denmark rules Greenland.
Therefore, Hey! Presto! India owns Greenland!
Lets take this logic further. If India has a natural right to Goa, it must necessarily have a natural right to Angola, Mozambique, East Timor, Portuguese Guinea, Cape Verde, Brazil, etc.!
And since Portugal once was ruled by Rome, and Rome once ruled England, and England once ruled the USA (at least the founding thirteen colonies), therefore, India has a natual right to the USA!
Therefore, George Bush Jr. is hereby commanded to humbly come to New Delhi and submit and supplicate for mercy and forgiveness for his 'splittist' activities.
Or else...!!!
