Priolkar's book, which makes extensive use of the relevant material from it, is in English. Now please note the claim below that Baiao has not been translated, and the earlier smearing of Priolkar to create the impression that he was biased because he was relying essentially on two biased sources - Dellon and Buchanan. As far as the material from Higgs below is concerned, the historian C. R. Boxer directly contradicts his opinions. Here is what Boxer says: QUOTE ...the author (Priolkar) has made excellent use of all the relevant Portuguese material which is available in print. He has rightly relied heavily on the documents from the Goa archives published by J. H. da Cunha Rivara a century ago, and on the more recent archival publications by A. Baiao and Panduronga Pissurlencar..... ...Dr. Priolkar has performed a valuable service in combing these works for the facts and presenting them in reliable and readable form. This work can therefore be unreservedly recommended to those who have neither the time nor the ability to read the published Portuguese sources.... UNQUOTE ....C. R. Boxer Please also note that the beating around the bush continues on Noronha's part. He is still not able to give us an example of anything he has read which directly contradicts the facts reported by Priolkar. What's more, he is not able to provide even simple quotes from Priolkar's, Dellon's or Buchanan's books that can be regarded as distortions, exaggerations or fabrications to support his speculation/fantasy that we are dealing with a black legend here.
