Re: [GRN] Re: R. V. Pandit, the photographer

[Frederick Noronha]

*Imprint* has been identified as one of the magazines propped up by the CIA
during Cold War times to stem the Soviet influence on Indian
intellectuals...

See this piece in the* Outlook* too:
https://www.outlookindia.com/books/an-imprint-of-a-different-sort-news-228785

https://thewire.in/history/cia-sponsored-indian-magazines-engaged-indias-best-writers

*And the secrecy added a second bonus, that the cultural propaganda would
be more “subtle”– indeed, undetectable to some – when compared with the
clunky Soviet version. That is, until it was definitively exposed in 1967.
As my new book, *Finks: How the CIA Tricked the World’s Best Writers* (not
yet available in India) argues, whatever goodwill earned from the subtlety
of those cultural efforts quickly washed away when they were tainted by the
CIA connection. Since the patronage had grown so vast, and the magazines
and other outlets so numerous, many of the world’s intellectuals had been
touched by the controversy, whether they spoke out or not. Gabriel Garcia
Marquez, who had contributed to one of the magazines targeting Latin
America, wrote privately to his editor that he felt like a “cuckold” and
would never contribute to the magazine again. The Indian intellectuals who
had collaborated around one of the Congress’s magazines targeting the
subcontinent, **Quest** (another was called Imprint) expressed similar
indignation at the clumsiness of the scheme. Jayaprakash Narayan had worked
with the Indian version of the Congress for Cultural Freedom, and wrote to
his connected friends that “It was not enough to assess that the Congress
had always functioned with independence . . . . The Agency was only doing
what it must have considered useful for itself.” His colleague, K.K. Sinha,
wrote to announce that he was quitting the organisation, adding, “Had I any
idea . . . that there was a time bomb concealed in the Paris headquarters,
I would not have touched the Congress.” The following short excerpt from
Finks shows that the Americans and Europeans seeking to “help” India and
other parts of the developing world to see the evils of Stalinism were
indeed merely doing what they “considered useful” for the agency and
themselves and worked often with little understanding of the cultural
exchange expected by their international counterparts.*

Yes, you are right. First published from Hong Kong, and, much later, from
Bombay. If I am correct. Dom Moraes edited it.
The mag featured good writers and, for me, it was very satisfying. I don't
which mzg nowadays can be comparable to Imprint.

Re: [GRN] Re: R. V. Pandit, the photographer

[fredericknoronha]

Dear Dr William, Thanks for sharing that background with us, about the kind 
of events which take place in boardrooms and academies, which lesser 
mortals might not have a clue about.

Regardless of the language politics of that era (which continues now too, 
probably in different formats), may I point out that the research query 
came from a Portuguese scholar who has worked at Macau and Brazil, and 
hence the comment "You want to remember RV Pandit. Are you honest?" might 
be totally misplaced here.

As for myself, I'm curious to just know more about all who worked on Goa, 
regardless of what field, approach or politics, how these have been 
treated, etc. In the 1970s, I was still a schoolboy in short pants. As you 
know, in the 1980s, I was still searching to find my way around Goa (and, 
on a maybe not unconnected vein, recall the bike-ride we took to a Konkani 
sahitya programme in Pernem on your red Bajaj M-80, or maybe M-50.) 

RV Pandit was then available in print though, and he had been quite well 
translated by Thomas Gay (whose name I sharply recall, but didn't find out 
much else). These slender books were published by Bhagwati Prakashan, 
probably Pandit's own imprint, and quite widely available in Goa in those 
days. 

But I agree with your wider suggestion: Goa doesn't adequately recognise 
those who have worked so long in these fields, even within some of our 
living memories. FN

 him to greater heights! His name was included in 'Who's who in Indian

 Does anyone have any indication of where I could find these photos? Any

 much appreciated

 All the best,

Re: [GRN] Re: R. V. Pandit, the photographer

[William Robert Da Silva]

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?

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

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.

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:

A Review of Konkani Poetry After Goa's Liberation

Symposium March 26, 2017, Panaji The regional office of Sahitya Akademi at
Mumbai, in collaboration with Goa Konkani Academy and the Institute Menezes
Braganza, organised a symposium on R.V. Pandit, distinguished Konkani
litterateur, on the occasion of his birth centenary year, on March 26,
2017, at Panaji, Goa. Dr Madhav Borkar, renowned Konkani poet, inaugurated
the symposium. At the outset, Sri Krishna Kimbahune, Regional Secretary,
welcoming the audience and participants pointed out the coincidence that
the birth centenaries of both Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh and R.V. Pandit fall
this year. Pandit was a prolific poet and an accomplished photographer who
wrote in Konkani, Marathi and Portuguese, but had received recognition as
poet was only because of his poetry in Konkni, he said. Dr Borkar said that
Pandit was an artist by birth, and achieved fame as photographer first, and
then as poet. The diction he employed in his poetry was close to spoken
Konakani, and he had opted for free verse deliberately, he stated. Sri
Ramesh Veluskar, noted Konkani poet and critic, delivered the keynote
address, saying that the pictorial effect Pandit’s poetry left was
remarkable. Some other characteristics of his poetry were deliberate use of
free verse, neo-realistic style, and deep concern for the downtrodden, he
pointed out. Dr Tanaji Halarnakar, Convener, Konakni Advisory Board,
chaired the session. Sri Sanjay Haramalkar, Chairman, the Institute Menezes
Braganza, proposed a vote of thanks. Dr Harishchandra Nagvenkar and Dr S.M.
Tadkodkar presented thier papers in the first session, while Sri Nagesh
Karmali chaired the session. Nagvenkar said that Pandit’s diction was very
energetic and lively, and the social awareness that his poetry displayed
was exemplary. The downtrodden were the centre of Pandit’s poetry, and the
distinguishing characteristic of Pandit was that he wrote about the
downtrodden when he himself was quite well off, he said. Dr Tadkodkar said
that Pandit instinctively avoided carnal element in his poetry, and
responded to human sorrow, and voiced sensibly the suffering of a common
man. His poetry was of compassion and empathy, he said. Sri Bhushan Bhave
and Sri Hanumant Kambli presented their papers in the second session, and
Sri Gokuldas Prabhu chaired the session. Sri Bhave observed that Pandit’s
poetry had an air of revolution and revolt, and Pandit wrote in workaday
language of masses unlike B.B. Borkar whose diction was deeply influenced
by Sanskrit. Moreover, his poetry was interdisciplinary and left the effect
of paintings, he added further. Sri Kambli informed that Pandit wrote
poetry since 1963, and 44 years before that he experimented with his
camera, and he was basically a photographer. It was Mahatma Gandhi’s
influence that restricted him to make photography his profession. The

Re: [GRN] Re: R. V. Pandit, the photographer

[V M]

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:

[GRN] Re: R. V. Pandit, the photographer

[fredericknoronha]

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?
