Dr. Wilfred De Souza :A Journey With An Exceptional Leader of Goa (With Life Video Documentary)
₹1,950Dr. Wilfred De Souza
A Jorney With An Exceptional Leader of Goa
Dr. Wilfred Anthony De Souza (1927) has been a prominent and exceptional politician of Goa. His political career has spanned over a period of forty years in which he has been the Chief Minister of Goa three times and for most of his political career, he has held a variety of ministerial portfolios. Dr. Willy, as he is popularly known, is a household name in Goa and in the Goan Diaspora. As a B.C. Roy Awardee, the highest honour for Medicine and Statesmanship in India, he has singlehandedly, dominated the political establishment for half a century since the Liberation of Goa from the Portuguese rule.
The protagonist plays a double role: privately, as a family man with a medical profession and publicly, as a volatile and robust politician. Being a highly respected surgeon and an equally controversial politician, his life is packed with incidents and episodes which are tied up with the real life and political existence of the people of Goa. His actions of political upheavals, toppling and reinstating governments, liaison and partnership with the top leaders, Presidents, Governors, Chief Ministers, International Leaders, Diplomats, Bureaucrats and businessmen, are irresistible. He played a singular role in achieving Statehood for Goa and making Konkani its official language. At 84, he is still very active and is an undiminished political force in the State.
The work has been fashioned to read like a novel, shorn of all the pretences of a biography. It is a dialogue.It is fully authentic. The dialogue is based on the actual conversation the author had with his central character.
Each chapter is ensconced – in the beginning and at the end – in a thought provoking social and political environment. It provides the right atmosphere for debate by the intelligentsia.
Wilfred De Souza’s life may be described as colourful and controversial. But even his worst detractors vouch for him being a clean and honest politician of Goa. His life can have lessons for individuals as well as organizations.

THE LIBERATION OF GOA A Participant’s View of History
₹525In the last days of 1961, Goa , Daman and Diu, Portuguese enclaves on India’s west coast, were occupied by Indian troops in the face of minimal resistance, thus became part of the Indian unions. The government of Antonio Salazar had persisted to the last in claiming that the territories were not colonies by integral parts of the Portuguese nation, Christian and European in culture and as such would be defended. In the event, such diplomatic support as ritual had been able to muster melted away, and after ritual condemnation of India’s act of aggression, and accusations of hypocrisy against prime minister Nehru, the great apostle of non-violence, the world forgot about Goa
Dr. Gaitonde’s account starts by highlighting the important events of Goa’s colonial history since the sixteenth century- he shows that the tradition of Hindu resistance was indeed a long one. The account of even since 1940s is the fruit of many years of research Indian and Portuguese state archives and of collecting oral evidence- the last Portuguese governor general of Goa was one of many protagonists he interviewed. His personal role is described in its place.
This book has been long awaited, and is likely to provide the best balanced and most complete available first –hand history of this unique political drama.
