'''Mourya Sawant''' (died 1912) was a Hindu Ranes leader who led a revolt against [[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese]] in 1912. <br />
<br />
Mourya Sawant led an unsuccessful Goan Hindu revolt against Portuguese colonialism. He was decapitated whilst asleep at his home. Portuguese troops entered his home secretly, and stabbed him and beheaded him. His colleague, Jhil Sawant, was caught when Mourya was beheaded.<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Bhatt |last2=Bhargava | first1 = S.
