Goan pioneers in Bombay
Albuquerque,Teresa
Goan pioneers in Bombay - Goa Broadway Publishing House 2012 - 197 p 22 x 14 cm
Bombay (now Mumbai) opened up a new world to the Goan, both Christian and Hindu. They rode high on the crest of the wave of privilege, grabbed opportunity, worked hard at whatever they took up -- not baulking at menial service, so long as it improved their standing. Thus they were enabled to set up their own educational institutions, their own press. Others strove to rectify their society, to actively promote education at the highest levels, and organise reform movements. This book focuses on the nineteenth century.
