Oral histories provide us with an opportunity not only to revisit and correct historical inaccuracies but also to enrich our understanding of the cultural mosaic that defines Goa today. They remind us that history is never a single story, but a tapestry woven from multiple strands of memory, tradition, and lived experience.” — from the Preface by Dr. Pandurang Phaldesai ________________________________ Contributors Arvind P Jamkhedkar, Kumud Kanitkar, Remy Dias, Padmaja Kamat, Rajendra P Kerkar, Kamlakar D Mhalshi, Rohit R Phalgaonkar, Suraj A Pandit, Nishigandha Parulekar, Prachi Chaudhari, Michael Keer, Tanvi Bambolkar, Vivek Chari, Ashok Rana, Pandurang Phaldesai ________________________________ Tanvi Bambolkar Tanvi Bambolkar is Assistant Professor of English at the Government College of Arts, Science & Commerce, Quepem, Goa.
