I came in contact with Raghunath Vishnu Pandit, photographer, literateur and much more very early in my work in contact between Goa and Kanara in the 1970s. I had many sessions with him on Konkani literature, folklore and much more. Unfortunately, when I suggested his name for Sahitya Academy Award in 1977 as member of the SA Konkani committee, all members wanted Ravindra Kelekar and his Himalayant and not his Mhoje Git Gauddeachem. Second, I proposed, with the president of SA agreeing with me, that Konkani be recognised in at least three scripts for thirty years before a unity of scripts, but they denied the cause. So, I resigned and never came close to SA again. I am even now away from Goan Konkani politics. You want to remember RVPandit. Are you honest? William Robert Da Silva
