[cr-india] Transcripts of Konkani (Romi) broadcasts from clandestine radio..

[Frederick Noronha (FN)]

THE OTHER DAY, I ran into Ms Libia Lobo Sardesai in Panjim, the 
state-capital of Goa.

	Ms Sardesai, wife of the former ambassador to Angola and
	ex-editor of Goa Today, the late Vaman Sardesai, was,
	with her husband, among the team which manned the
	clandestine radio station operating from around Belgaum
	during the campaign against Portuguese colonial rule in Goa
	around the 1950s.

Apparently, she has the transcripts (written down, in hand) of all the 
transmissions made from that station in the 'fifties. A veritable 
treasure trove of information. It records regional and global events from 
those times, and is in Roman (Romi)-script Konkani.

	She's looking for someone -- preferably a young student,
	fluent in Romi Konkani -- who can get these transcripts
	keyed into a computer, for planned publication. 

If anyone has any ideas, or could put her in touch with someone who would 
be interested and is capable of doing a good job, please contact her at 
John Paul Building, Church Square, Panjim, Goa (phone 222 4996). Rgds, FN
