Hi Frederick

Thanks for sending this info.

It’s wonderful to read that Dr. Sardessai is being celebrated in this extravagant manner.

I am a Mathematician and an Engineer but I love his poetry.

Regards

John

Dr Edith Noronha Melo Furtado: Manoharrai Sardessai -- at the confluence of the East and West (in English-French)
"The works of Dr Manoharrai Sardessai are mostly written in Konkani. However, his studies and experiences in France, his love of French literature, and familiarity with the language engaged his imagination in themes often inspired by French Romanticism. A strong political consciousness and a sense of mission drew him to the political reality of colonised Goa. His French poems during his years in France, expressing longing for his homeland, are marked with exilic nostalgia."

Dr Anuradha Wagle: Theories pass. The frog remains: Translating Manohar Rai Sardessai's poetry (in English-French)
"Dr Manohar Rai Sardessai's poetry presents different challenges for different languages while recreating a poem that essentially emanates from oral language, to be read and listened to. Our own experience in creating the French version of the Konkani ballad 'Bebeanchem Cazar' with its diversity of sounds and images defines a process of conformity, consensus and contradiction."
