Dear Dr Frederick Noronha, It is impossible for me to attend the conversation to be held on 11th April 2025, concerning the Goan Migration under the topic "Belgaum: Goan Memories .........". Well, you are acquainted with me: António Bernardo Colaço - Justice of the Supreme Court - Jubilee - Portugal" - hailing from Ribandar, presently, 86 years old, living in Lisbon. It is my pleasure to convey the notice that I have lingering memories of Belgaum during the period 1954 -1956, where I along with my brother Nazário Colaço and many other goans (Ivo Furtado, Tomé and Damian Mrenezes, Oliver, Milagres, Numénuo de Sousa and others whose names I do not remember) oliver spent our youth studying at the Lingaraj College. At the time we stayed in a house just in front of St Paul's High School. Maybe you will find relevance in this modest piece of personal remembrance. After all, the world is a small village. Best wishes and a full (´pukka') success to the venue. António Bernardo Colaço. .

the Goan Migration Story > > Belgão — as the Goans who settled in Belgaum (now Belagavi) knew it — has > a unique and compelling story. A recent book, *Belgão: Goan Memories from > the ‘Centre of the Universe’*, attempts to narrate that story, and this > discussion will bring together key voices behind it: editor Clifford W > DeSilva, contributor, writer-editor Derek Almeida, and publisher-journalist > Frederick Noronha. > > The conversation will explore questions such as: Why did Goans settle in > Belgão and the nearby towns of Hubballi and Dharwad in the first place? How > did they adapt to their new surroundings, mingle with others, and yet > retain their distinct identity? It will also examine how the migration to > Belgaum fits into the broader narrative of Goan migration across India and > the world. > > The Goans of Belgão managed to hold on to their Goan identity without > becoming insular. Many went on to distinguish themselves in fields such as > the Armed Forces, religious life, Olympic hockey, business, and more — all > while upholding the values, simplicity, and sense of community they drew > from their upbringing. > > As early as the twentieth century — or even before — Belgão became a > beacon of opportunity for Goans. It was a place where they could live, > grow, and most importantly, access education that opened doors far beyond. > At a time when Portuguese-ruled Goa offered limited alignment with the > English-speaking world, Belgaum provided a crucial bridge to wider horizons. > > In Belgão, Goans built networks, shaped futures, and left a legacy. These > are the stories of beloved teachers, cherished school memories, and the > life lessons that left a lasting impact. Recollections of life in Belgaum > paint a vivid portrait of a once-quiet town in today’s Karnataka (earlier > part of Mysore and then Bombay State), full of warmth, opportunity, and > promise. > ------------------------------ > Clifford W DeSilva > > Clifford W DeSilva was born and raised in Belgão and passed out of St > Paul’s High School, Belgaum.
