Well, he's from Goa, and India stole Goa by force from Portugal. Why shouldn't he have an allegiance of sympathy to Portugal?

Not really -- Goa was a colony with it's own independence movement, but most Goans didn't care one way or the other as the Portuguese by the 19th century had become pretty powerless colonial owners -- they only retained control because the English had a 6 century old treaty with Portugal and didn't bother about taking over their little colony. When India gained independence, it wanted European colonies out of the Indian continent -- just as the USA's Monroe Doctrine prescribed no foreign involvement in North OR South America.

A little bit of reality about Goa-it's been a Hindu majority state long before India annexed it & the folks who supposedly had loyalties to Portugal(anglo-Indians) consisted a neglible chunk of the population.Often they are confused with the larger westernised Marathi ,Konkani & Mangalorean Christian catholics.

really..? So you'd support Indian's forcible occupation of Goa? Does that mean you'd support China's policy on Taiwan?

You can't have it both ways.
