Pankaj Udhas, Shekhar Kapur, violinist Subramaniam among Padma awardees

This year, the Padma awards were given to 30 unsung heroes, including 100-year-old Libia Lobo Sardesai, who played an important role in Goa’s freedom movement. She co-founded an underground radio station — ‘Voz da Liberdabe (Voice of Freedom)’ — in a forested area in 1955 to rally people against Portuguese rule.
