An article that appeared on the Church bulletin ‘Renewal’ has gone viral on the social media and shaken the political class. Written by a Panjim-based lawyer F E Noronha, the article says, “In 2012, everyone thought in terms of having a corruption-free Goa; this thinking continued till 2014, but from then and increasingly everyday what we are witnessing in India is nothing but a constitutional holocaust. Corruption is very bad, communalism is worse, but Nazism is worse than both.”

Comparing Germany of 1933 and present day India, he writes, “Anybody who read William Shirer’s ‘The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich’ or Allan Bullocks’ ‘A study of tyranny’ or Hitler’s own ‘Mein Kampf’ will find an extraordinary identity between the growth and rampage, of Nazism in Germany in 1933 onwards and India in 2014.”
