#1 I thought it was a land grab then. I think its still a land grab now. What is there for the Indian Army to celebrate?

#2 Mr. Wife used to work with a lovely gentleman from Goa. His family owned the key ambasadorships of India -- to the US, Canada, the UN, Brussels, etc. It doesn't sound like they came out too badly from the annexation, although I've no idea about the lower classes. How does India's rule compare to that of the Portuguese?

#3 wife; The Christians aren't as happy, since millitant Hindus are about as nasty as millitant Moslems. OTOH, the Portugese sucked as a colonial power, exceeded only by the King of Belgium.
