Indeed...COMMENT RECEIVED ON GOANET: VOL. 6, NO. 560<br />Indeed , this book review comes as an eye opener to many of us goans who<br />have been resident overseas sometimes through a succession of three<br />generations. Many of us who are great, or greater grandchildren of the<br />diaspora and have lost touch with the original India (which was in many<br />cases was a collection of kingdoms united later by outside invaders<br />like the Moghuls or even the forces of Alexander of Macedonia........} now<br />look on India, Pakistan and Nepal as single entities until recently viewed<br />as " third world " states. We overlook the fact that systemic<br />discrimination due to ancient tribal,caste and social class biases still<br />exist today in and around the subcontinent.<br />The fact that a large Maoist type conflict between the poorer tribals<br />and villagers and the existing government stems from struggle between<br />capitalistic economies and the peasants who are being dispossessed of their<br />traditional agricultural lands.<br />I shall definitely make an effort to get hold of the book thru` my<br />contacts in Goa.<br />JOE LOBODale Luis Menezeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707366650904496827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698006743552625350.post-92044699116943809352011-06-14T05:03:09.875-04:002011-06-14T05:03:09.875-04:00Very nice review, thanks!Very nice review, thanks!Amitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08054363772701906952noreply@blogger.com
