It is the end of an era, with the passing away of the eminent writer and thinker Shri Chandrakant Keni. Born before independence in 1934 has spent a lifetime supporting the Konkani movement in Goa. It was his contribution that helped form Goa into a separate federal state in the Indian republic and also define its own identity, culture and language.

A well know journalist during his time, he was known for his direct and fearless attack on the existing system, which he thought were deeply unfair. Thus exposing their faults.

His death leaves a void that can never be filled. Our wishes are with his family.
