'''Anant Kakba Priolkar''' was a [[Marathi people|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]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abmss-saswad.com/forms/Sublink1.aspx?lid%3D156 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2014-07-06 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714123436/http://www.abmss-saswad.com/forms/Sublink1.aspx?lid=156 |archivedate=14 July 2014}}</ref> 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]].<ref name="konk">{{cite magazine<br />
