This House unanimously and strongly recommends that the contents on "The Chieftains of Cuncolim” be introduced at the appropriate stage in the school and college curriculum consequent on the decision of the Government of Goa to celebrate 15th July 1583 (Cuncolim Revolt) as the National War Memorial Day. The Gaonkar's of Cuncolim stood up to the colonial powers boycotting the colonial decrees and registered their protests by not paying any revenue to the Government centuries before similar protests and boycotts got popularized as the “non- cooperation movement”. These deeds of courage, valiant struggle and sacrifices of Goan's and specially the people of Cuncolim should be learnt and taught as part of Goa’s political struggle against colonial powers strictly as historical facts without fanning xenophobia of any kind.
