Within the walls of the state archives department is a treasure trove of
archival documents comprising, among other things, correspondence
between Goa and its neighbouring sovereigns like the Sunda kings,
Sawants of Sawantwadi, Kolhapur kings, Peshwas, Hyder Ali, etc. However,
scripted as they are in an alphabet no longer in circulation, the
content of these texts has for long remained beyond the understanding of
the state's historians.
But, that was until archivist Balaji Shenoy took it upon himself to
dig into the deepest recesses of the department to source official
papers from yore to decode the script.
