This talk brings together history and political narratives to reflect on Goa’s journey toward liberation. Gerald Pereira, arrived in Bombay and joined the Goan Peoples Party (GPP) after being personally initiated by Dr. T. B. Cunha. Alongside fighting for Goa’s freedom, the GPP also played a significant role in the liberation of Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
Through these intertwined stories, speaker Lara Pereira Naique explores how individual lives become part of larger movements for freedom, and how they continue to survive through archives and lived experiences. The session invites audiences to revisit Goa’s past through narratives shaped by courage, companionship, and cultural continuity.
