R. V. Pandit
Raghunath Vishnu Pandit (1916 or 1917-1990)[1] was a Goan poet. He is best known and most celebrated for his vast poetic production in Konkani. Pandit also produced a significant body of work in Portuguese after the Liberation of Goa in 1961, and also wrote in Marathi. Much of his output was written in a neo-realist style demonstrating a marked concern for the downtrodden sections of Goan society. Among his most noted achievements are the publication of five books of poetry on one day (26 January 1963) and a prize from the Sahitya Akademi for his 1975 Dariā Gāzotā.[2]
A monograph on Poet Raghunath Vishnu Pandit has been written by Dr. S. M. Tadkodkar, a Konkani-Marathi poet, research scholar and Reader, Head of Department of Marathi Goa University. It was published by Goa Government's Goa Konkani Akademy, in 2006.[3]
