The two writers below and many others have mentioned how difficult it is
to find Goan-authored English books. A suggestion (which may need
refinement) is to 'put together a collection' of these books

a moral incentive to be industrious.
I would encourage other Goans to perhaps write essays like yours,
drawing on their experience of what has worked and what has not, to make
future Goan Diaspora communities vibrant and energetic.
