Whatever his biases might me, when one actually reads his descriptions it becomes clear that he was an excellent narrator of events that happened before his eyes. I have no reason to doubt what he witnessed at Jagannath Puri or Juggernaut, as he refers to it. But more importantly, his descriptions of his experiences in Goa in 1808 are completely sanitized by comparison. There is absolutely no exaggeration of any kind, and his expressed personal opinions and comments are few and far between. I hope Noronha finds the time to actually read Buchanan's books before commenting on him next time. Cheers, Santosh
