About the book

An attempt to get closer to the common man's reality in Goa, whether in his rural or urban setting. This book has replaced the myth of a 'Golden Goa' with the reality of socio-economic pressures and opportunities to which the Goan population was awakened by Portuguese rule.

First sentence: After a first century of nearly undisputed mastery over the western Indian ocean, and after a sufficiently long spell of prosperity, misfortunes began falling thick and fast upon the Portuguese Empire.
