| Dear Filipa, Would love to read your article and have the link to the conference. I am at Yale and would have attended it had I known about it. Would you mind sharing with me the name of the Department at Yale that organized the meeting? I will ask them to place me in their mailing list. Thank you.

Dear all, Dear Vivek,
Your article published with Scroll in 2015 is very interesting indeed and I quote it in the article I wrote on photography in Goa before and beyond Souza & Paul. Meanwhile, and before this is published - it will be published in 2024 in an open acess academic
journal - I send you the link to the conference which took place last october at Yale, US, where I spoke on the subject of Goan photographers in East Africa and in Bombay. The link also includes two other presentations, one of them also on Goa, by Ângela Barreto
Xavier.
I will send you the text as soon as it is published.
If any of you has any comment or information on the subject, or knows of any recent work on the subject I would be grateful of you could share it as I will only close the article in may.

Assunto: Re: [GRN] Re: R. V. Pandit, the photographer
There is an immense legacy of Goans in early modern photography, from the earliest days of practice in India (via Narayan Daji Lad and many other pioneers), in the homeland itself (where the Goan "family archive" is one of the great 19th and early 20th
century treasure troves), and then across the Indian Ocean tradeways especially in East Africa. It's a huge area for study + research, which has not been touched at all. This essay of mine is relevant:
http://scroll.in/article/709359/how-colonial-goa-used-photography-to-create-images-of-a-democratic-india
Guess we know so little about aspects of our own past... this is an important aspect, Duarte. I've heard of RV Pandit's work in photography, and the photo-made-into-a-stamp which he created of Gandhi (or Gandhi/Nehru) was in the news some time back here. But
so few links available online about this aspect of his work.
To complicate things, there is another RV Pandit (an East Indian Christian, born Thomas Ignatius Rodrigues in
Vasai earlier Bassein) and has been a prominent publisher/film-maker in Bombay in more recent decades. Do let us know how the study goes, and share any links when possible. Many thanks! FN
PS: Does anyone feel there is a need for a study on Goan photographers in the Diaspora/Daizpora, in places ranging from Malaysia/Singapore to Kanpur, East Africa and the paparazzi in the UK even today, apart from other places we have perhaps forgotten?
Dear all, I am writing on R. V. Pandit, especially interested in the relation between his poems and his lesser-known activity as photographer. I am reading S. M. Tadkodkar's booklet on him, where I gathered this info:
"He won prizes at all India level for his photographs. He had taken photographs of the Mahatma, for which he earned a gold medal in 1948. He printed a calendar featuring the Mahatma after selling gold-buttons gifted by his mother-in-law and some gold ornaments
of his wife. This calendar also brought him name and fame. Government of free and sovereign India released his frames of the Mahatma on national postage stamps and currency notes. But Pandit neither said his Mahatma photographs nor made ttlem his asset for
recognition as a Ga-:- Pandit in the movement for freedom of India"
(...)
His first photograph having a caption 'Sting Tail Fish' was published in the school magazine at Pune, which earned the first prize as well. His first photograph titled 'A Boy on a Hill' was published on the centre page of KODAK INDIAN MAGAZINE and continued
such publication there on. He exhibited aesthetic sense through his photography and his photographs were published in the noted periodicals viz., THE TROPICAL PHOTOGRAPHY, THE LENS-LIGHT COLUMNS etc. But, he never dreamt that this liking would take him to
greater heights! His name was included in 'Who's who in Indian photography? (p. 7-9)"
Does anyone have any indication of where I could find these photos? Any online archives containing these digitized magazines? Any help would be much appreciated
All the best,
Duarte
