The following extract is from an article by Radharao Gracias, the full
text of which is given below it: " What you have just read, you would
agree (except for apologists of those wielding power, political or
ecclesiastical) most appropriately sums up Goa, as it is now. None of
it, is written by me. (I would not be able to write so succinctly) None
of it, has been written now."
"The first three paras are from the essay 'Frankly Speaking' dated
October 6, 1926; the fourth and fifth from 'Mushrooming Taverns' dated
October 17, 1926; the sixth and seventh from 'Missionaries' dated June
16, 1937 and the last from 'This cannot continue' dated May 19, 1937. I
have extracted the same verbatim, from the writings, of perhaps the
greatest Goan patriot, of the twentieth century, late Jose Inacio de
Loyola, as translated by Alexandre Moniz Barbosa, from the book
'Passionate and Unrestrained'"
Radharao's article is a very ingenious way of inviting readers to the
book under consideration.
Cheers
