Dear Dr Smita, Thanks for your explanation. In this day and age on wonders who is friend or foe. Good that your work is neutral and not affiliated to any political agenda. But what is the aim of this work, what are you trying/hoping to uncover? Specially when you are firm on the periods before and soon after the Portuguese landed up in Goa. That can help others help you.

Dear Joao Baab As a dedicated researcher and academician, I always strive to maintain objectivity and neutrality. My goal is to uncover facts and present them in their most authentic form. I am driven solely by the spirit of research and not by any political agenda. Rest assured of my impartiality. Thank you, and I sincerely appreciate and share your concern. I am only trying to take forward my writer-father, Mahableshwar Sail's legacy!

Sorry to be blunt but has this got to do with the BJP's grand fundamentalist plan to find out which temples were allegedly destroyed by the Portuguese in Goa and then make an agenda to destroy any churches and rebuilt these temples, Ayodhya style? Too many secret project going on behind people's backs, so it is good to know if that is the ultimate aim of this research.

Manuscripts in any script would do. Preferably Konkani manuscripts in different scripts. We are looking for Manuscripts that will help us reconstruct pre-colonial Goan Cultural landscape and also make a comparative study later on of 16th and 17th century. Phase 1 of the project is a mere epistemological survey and Phase 2 will be about examining a d analysing those that will help us with our research. We have no records of any manuscripts prior to 1520. It will be groundbreaking if we can trace anything that belongs to pre-Portuguese era. Thank you.

It is just beyond belief what books and other publications they have there. Definitely the largest one in the world in private hands. All I can say is that it is not open to public, it is very private. Regards.
