Nandan Kudchadkar is a Goan collector and museum founder whose family history runs four generations deep — from landlord to trader to mining pioneer to industrialist to, in his own generation, cultural preservationist. In conversation with Shweta's Talkies, Kudchadkar opens by correcting one of the most persistent misconceptions about his home state: Goa is not majority Christian, as "vacation Goa" imagery often implies, but Hindu-majority, roughly two-thirds per the 2011 census, with the beach-tourism strip representing only a sliver of the state's actual character and history. That correction sets the tone for the rest of the conversation, which moves through his family's own migration story — tradition holds that his Gaud Saraswat Brahmin ancestors arrived in the Konkan region under a Parshurama-linked origin narrative — and into the twentieth-century history that reshaped Goa's religious makeup more concretely: a wave of non-Goan labor migration into the mining sector after the Second World War, which shifted the state from a Christian-majority population among ethnic Goans in 1909 to the Hindu-majority state recorded by later census data. Kudchadkar's own family mining history sits directly inside that larger, underexamined migration story. The conversation also covers Feni, the cashew and coconut spirit that became India's first liquor to receive Geographical Indication protection in 2009 and was declared Goa's official Heritage Spirit in 2016 — heritage recognition Kudchadkar has been directly involved in advocating for, alongside his broader work collecting and preserving Goan material culture through his museum, All About Alcohol. Recorded as part of Shweta's Talkies' Heritage series, this episode follows a family archivist correcting the record on his own state, one generation and one artifact at a time.
