    Ln Dr Austin D'Souza Prabhu was real Konkani Activist in his days. It is apparent that all his friends and so called well-wishers never supported or backstabbed him during his days of crisis are now after him to steal the limelight and for sponsors. The real irony is that self styled Konkani activist made money from his magazines which he gave away free of cost to them , though he acquired them paying a price by mortgaging his fathers property. Thank you Dr. Austin speaking from the heart. It is the rarest talk I ever heard in Konkani in recent past.
