...a professor of English in quite a few prestigious colleges (Ruia's in Matunga, Siddharth College and Sophia's in Bombay, the Karnatak College in Dharwar, and Elphinstone also in Bombay). He was Head at the Department of English Literature at Dhempe College, Panjim, at the time of his death in 1973.
... started The Skyline as a medium for young writers to express their creative energies and literary abilities. ... contributed to The Goan Tribune, The Navhind Times, The Illustrated Weekly of India, Goa Today. Also featured on All India Radio and Radio Goa with his talks in English and Konkani. ... played a notable role in the Goa freedom struggle. ... was passionately interested in Goan folklore and folksong. ... author of *Soil and soul and Konkani folk tales* (which one would have perhaps never seen, had writer Jerry Pinto not shared some copies with us!) Did anyone on this list know Prof Rodrigues? Any memories of him? Influenced by his work? Asking because his 100th birth anniversary comes up later this month... on April 15, 2015 and a tribute is being planned in Goa. If so, please share your memories with me offline (or post to [email protected]) Will circulate some of his writing shortly. My favourite ones include: *To konna'lo* (Just what does this seemingly question really mean?) and *They come and go...* a touching rendering of Goan migration... and what it meant to those left behind.
