'''José Inácio Candido de Loyola''', popularly known as '''Fanchu Loyola''' (born [[Orlim]], [[Salcete]], [[Goa]], 11 March 1891, died Portugal 1973), was, in the words of Charles Borges, "Goa’s foremost nationalist".<ref>''Goa’s Foremost Nationalist José Inácio Candido de Loyola: The Man and his Writings'', ed. by Charles Borges, trans. by Lino Leitão (New Delhi: Concept Publishing, 2000).</ref> He is noted for his journalism and political activism in support of human rights and democracy, humanism, anti-colonialism, and Goan independence.<ref>Carmo D’Souza, ''Goa Through the Eyes of Fanchu Loyola'' (Agnelo D’Souza 2005).</ref><br />

==Biography==<br />
Born in the home of his maternal grandparents, he was the son of Avertano Loyola and Maria Angelica Conceicão Gomes, who were prominent in the ''[[Partido Indiano]]'', a political party associated with the ''[[Roman Catholic Kshatriya|Chardó]]'' caste.<ref>Paul Melo e Castro (trans.), ''Lengthening Shadows'', 2 vols (Saligão: Goa, 1556, 2016), I p. 14.</ref> His uncle José Inácio de Loyola was a lawyer, owner of ''A Índia Portuguesa'' (itself the paper of the Partido Indiano), and a fierce critic of Portuguese colonialism in India. At the time of Fanchu Loyola's birth both his father and uncle were in exile in British India, not returning to Goa until September 1891.<ref>Carmo D'Souza, 'J. I. De Loyola: The Man with a Futuristic Vision', in ''Goa’s Foremost Nationalist José Inácio Candido de Loyola: The Man and his Writings'', ed. by Charles Borges, trans. by Lino Leitão (New Delhi: Concept Publishing, 2000), pp. xxix-xxxv (pp. xxix-xxx); Yona Loyola-Nazareth, 'Loyola: A Man of Honour', in ''Goa’s Foremost Nationalist José Inácio Candido de Loyola: The Man and his Writings'', ed. by Charles Borges, trans. by Lino Leitão (New Delhi: Concept Publishing, 2000), pp. xxxvi-xxxviii (p. xxxvi).</ref> In 1917 Fanchu Loyola married Amy Amelia D'Souza, daughter of Thomas D'Souza and herself highly educated; they had three girls and a boy.<ref>Yona Loyola-Nazareth, 'Loyola: A Man of Honour', in ''Goa’s Foremost Nationalist José Inácio Candido de Loyola: The Man and his Writings'', ed. by Charles Borges, trans. by Lino Leitão (New Delhi: Concept Publishing, 2000), pp. xxxvi-xxxviii (p. xxxviii).</ref><br />
<br />
Fanchu Loyola edited and founded various newspapers, among them the ''Jornal da India'', though these tended to be suppressed by the government.<ref>Lino Leitão, 'J. I. de Loyola: A Born Democrat', in ''Goa’s Foremost Nationalist José Inácio Candido de Loyola: The Man and his Writings'', ed. by Charles Borges, trans. by Lino Leitão (New Delhi: Concept Publishing, 2000), pp. xvii-xxvii (pp. xvii-xix).</ref> When the ''Jornal da India'', for example, was suspended in 1913 by then Governor-General of Portuguese India, [[Francisco Manuel Couceiro da Costa]], Loyola published an open letter to the Governor-General criticising the inhibition of his freedom of speech entitled ''Cara Politíca'' and proceeded to found the new ''Rebate''. In 1926, Loyola was the strategist behind the election of [[Prazeres da Costa]] to the Superior Council of Colonies. Among his writings and speeches, he became particularly noted for his speech "Basta" ("enough is enough"), a pro-democracy and anti-colonial speech given on 25 November 1932. In the 1930s, Loyola moved to [[Bombay]], where he edited ''Portugal e Colonias''. While inspector of village communities, in 1927, he undertook agricultural experiments in [[Carambolim]], and wrote extensively on the possibilities for Goa's economic development.<ref>Carmo D'Souza, 'J. I. De Loyola: The Man with a Futuristic Vision', in ''Goa’s Foremost Nationalist José Inácio Candido de Loyola: The Man and his Writings'', ed. by Charles Borges, trans. by Lino Leitão (New Delhi: Concept Publishing, 2000), pp. xxix-xxxv (pp. xxix-xxxiii).</ref><br />
<br />
On 11 October 1946 was arrested, sentenced to four years' imprisonment and the removal of his political rights for fifteen years, and deported to [[Peniche Fortress]] until his early and conditional release on 12 January 1947.<ref>Lino Leitão, 'J. I. de Loyola: A Born Democrat', in ''Goa’s Foremost Nationalist José Inácio Candido de Loyola: The Man and his Writings'', ed. by Charles Borges, trans. by Lino Leitão (New Delhi: Concept Publishing, 2000), pp. xvii-xxvii; Carmo D'Souza, 'J.
