We recently learnt of the death of Dr Leopoldo Rocha, a scholar who was deeply interested in Goan issues and a veteran who worked many decades on Goa. Rocha was 93, and a long-time member of GRN. He was formerly a professor at Rachol, a priest, and actively committed to writing and explaining Goa.
His book on the confrarias of Goa (in Portuguese) is here: https://archive.org/details/confrarias-leopoldo-rocha-1 His blog Artes e Lettras, is here: https://lusogoanus.wordpress.com/ Rocha was one of the old timers who studied Goa amidst trying circumstances and limited options or facilities. With his passing, we lose another titan from another era.
