Leopoldo da Gama

Through his articles, he skillfully conveyed his humanistic education, ensuring that the Portuguese content he presented to readers was thoughtfully organized and devoid of excessive, unprocessed facts.

In his book titled Goa and Its Future, published in 1966, author Sarto Esteves acknowledges the individuals that made significant contributions to the field of journalism.

Da Gama, Dada Vaidya Hari Vithal Desai, Liberio Pereira, and Luís de Menezes Bragança were among the respected figures who achieved prominence within the journalistic landscape.

[6] Da Gama's literary style was described by Luís de Menezes Bragança as follows: He was a true journalist, possessing quick mental agility, a strong fighting spirit, and a diverse range of knowledge.

He had the ability to illuminate and suggest historical events in international chronicles, drawing appropriate parallels that went beyond superficial details and delving into their profound significance and far-reaching consequences.

In accordance with historical records found in The Journal of the Bombay Branch of Royal Asiatic Society, which was published in 1875, da Gama assumed the position of Deputy Postmaster General of Goa, Portuguese India, on 12 December 1874, around the age of 30–31.

The magazine, under the editorial guidance of Francisco Salvador Pinto, Gustavo Adolpho de Frias, Paschoal João Gomes, and da Gama, published its inaugural edition on 15 January 1887.

[8] In the latter part of his professional journey, da Gama assumed the role of director for a prominent political and literary news weekly called "Vida Nova" (New Life).

Da Gama demonstrated a willingness to appreciate and acknowledge individuals who embraced alternative perspectives on life and the world, reflecting an open-minded approach to differing viewpoints.

Particularly, he found great delight and admiration in da Gama's articles pertaining to international politics, as well as his polemical writings published in "Horas Vagas" and later in Gazeta de India.
