About
Anant Kakba Priolkar was a Marathi polemicist, author and political activist. Born in 1895, he started writing while he was in school and his writing stopped only with his death. His book The Goa Inquisition remains his bestselling work on account of it being extremely pro-Hindu, in spite of having been exposed as fraudulent by contemporary historical records regarding both the Iberian peninsula and Portuguese India. He was also elected as the President of the Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan held in 1951 at Karwar. He strongly advocated for the merger of Goa into Maharashtra, even though the majority of Goans rejected the idea in the 1967 Goa status referendum. He also considered Konkani as a dialect of Marathi language, in spite of the archaeological evidence proving that Konkani was an older, separate language. He died in Maharashtra in 1973.
