Nice video capturing the serene atmosphere of bygone Goa - Thanks! From 1988 I lived for a few years in Chandor, I was in my early 20's bright-eyed and bushy-tailed fresh from Canada, with not much more than my fiddle in hand and a smile of wonderment on my face. The most magical times of my life were spent there with the local Goans, learning and trading folk- fiddle tunes and drinking feni till the wee-hours. I almost got married and stayed...but something pulled me back. Forever, beautiful memories❤🎻🌴
Lindas imagens desta minha terra natal, sinto-me orgulhoso de ter nascido em Goa e por ser goes de coração e alma, não há dúvida que a Goa é muita bonita, tem vários monumentos que todos os goeses devem orgulhar desses monumentos muito bonitos que os portugueses deixaram aos goeses e não para os gantis. A Goa é dos goeses e de mais ninguém. Parabéns, Parabéns, Parabéns. Um grande abraço para todos os goeses deste vosso patrício que se encontra em Portugal desde 1962. 👍🏝️🇵🇹🏝️❤️I love GOA 🏝️🏝️👍👍
Mel Souza Hi Fred, A friend in Winnipeg just drew my attention to the "Goa in the 1980's" video posted on the internet. You did a fine job in its presentation. Many thanks, Mel

40 years later a complete hell hole. A documentary now would be not of the landscape, beaches or natural beauty. It would be of raves, clubs, majestic resorts and pollution
ubfortunate to hear, although I haven't been there yet to make a video, I have seen recent visitors videos on youtube, and it looks overrun and dirty now, unfortunate
Fred, No doubt Mel has a way with photography, one that is appreciated by many. It's too bad he has to temper that attribute with the need to talk your ear off. Get rid of the voice on this video, add some background music and some captions under the photos. p.s. Mel, I hope I haven't offended you too much.
@@Mercekar Genocide my dear friend means getting rid of the population you don’t want in that territory. Portuguese did not massacre non-Christian Indians. They tried and succeded converting some Hindus into Christianity. In Goa and Goan communities worldwide you have many Christians with Portuguese names (like yourself) which were not obliterated from this world for being Indian but instead chose to follow Christ. So, no genocide in Goa.
@@TimSerras some Hindus? Atleast you know the entire population of Old Conquistas were converted. Those who fled they only survived. I better know how we got this surname. How some of our ancestors had to leave this their own land. What happened with some of our relatives when they were secretly following the Hinduism. This stories are still kept alive and passed on from one generation to another generation. Our half family in Novas Conquistas are still Hindus.
Do see many posts on Goan Inquisitions and conversions . Please do an analysis of the over 5000 year Brahmanical caste domination of India that led to the rise of three Indic religionsand most of India's problems even today . Goa's charm lies in the indelible fact that it is the best of East and West. The rest of India must learn and follow . Viva Goa and Jai India Col Manjit Goa
Think of the atrocities committed by the Indian politicians in destroying the beauty of creation given as an heritage to the residence of Goa to display God’s love, joy and holiness upon the goans. Amen ❤❤❤.
As far as Goa is concerned, the evidence on which this argument is based seems to be sketchy. This is true in some parts like Kerala though where the Syrian Christians were there earlier. (Their claim to be "St Thomas Christians" is also debatable though.)

Hi Fred,
A friend in Winnipeg just drew my attention to the "Goa in the 1980's" video posted on the internet.
You did a fine job in its presentation.
Many thanks,
Mel
Here are the lyrics:
1st verse:
O brilhante e a estrela
Com rutilos brilhos seus (repeat)
Não si comparam com ela
Virgem pura Mãe de Deus (repeat)
Chorus:
Salve Santa Mãe de Deus
Nossa guia e protectura
Salve Rainha de ceus
Sacratissima Senhora
2nd verse:
Cento dez nove anos ja são
Que ela e nossa padroeira (repeat)
Protége este Saligão
Que adora sobremaneira. (repeat)
Note: The words in bold are the years since the inauguration of the church, and change every year.
Lastly, there may be some typos, but anyone who speaks Portuguese would be able to make the corrections.
Regards,
Mel

Sorry, what was that saying? Don't look at the gift horse...
Well written by Fedrick n want to meet you on person
Think of the atrocities committed by Portuguese on Hindus. It was genocide which lasted for centuries.
Genocide? Do you really know what it means?

@@Mercekar Why don’t you change your name to for example Narandr Baharatkhumar?
@@TimSerras have you changed your name? The difference between you and me is that we accepted the truth and you are running away from truth.

Hello sir
Hello
Portuguese were not the pioneers of Christianity. Christianity existed long before the Portuguese.
As far as Goa is concerned, the evidence on which this argument is based seems to be sketchy. This is true in some parts like Kerala though where the Syrian Christians were there earlier. (Their claim to be "St Thomas Christians" is also debatable though.)
Im portuguese we did not comit genocide in goa, but i wish we had
