Laxmanrao Sardessai
Laxmanrao Sardessai (1904-1986) was a Goan poet and short-story writer. Considered one of the territory's finest writers in the Marathi language, he also wrote prose and verse in Konkani and Portuguese.
Sardessai was born in 1904, in Savoi-Verem, and died in 1986. He lived, therefore, through the times of the Portuguese First Republic, the Estado Novo dictatorship and, after 1961, the post-Liberation Indian government. His writings, which include over 700 stories in Marathi, provide a spectrum of Goa over the twentieth century.
