Sad to learn about the death of a young historian. On reading the book, which Miquel mentioned in the para quoted below, I wrote to her asking her how certain details were not referenced. Now reading Miquel's assertion that "What went into print..... to be.." I can understand why she didn't reply. However, I looked forward for more serious work from her. Alas, it won't happen. Goa has indeed lost a promising academic. My heartfelt sympathies to her husband and family.
Eugene Correia ---- Sharon was passionate about history ... and about it being told the way it happened. She worked hard on the research for the book *Triumph of Secularism: Battle of the Opinion Poll in Goa*, which she co-authored with Rajan Narayan. What went into print is not exactly what she would have liked it to be... but it is closer to the truth than what has been dished out before that. ---
