The Hindus of Goa And The Portugues Republic (1922)

Says the translator: "Noronha's book is one of those works that can go a long way towards rectifying and removing many unsubstantiated assumptions, convenient distortions and motivated omissions in the so-called mainstream history of Goa." Afonso is critical about the "opinions about us and our past" created by "historians and propagandist, wittingly or unwittingly at the service of the political and commercial establishment." At the other extreme, the translator adds, "the bigots hold the other with their own brand of 'saffron coloured' history." He comments: "It is their wont to denigrate the Portuguese and to deny the Portuguese period in Goa as if nothing else had happened save the atrocities against the Hindus. That some of them are cashing in, directly or indirectly, on the milching cows left behind by the Portuguese only shows well their talent for duplicity."
