Salcete (Goan Konkani: साष्टी/षाष्टी, sāṣṭī/ṣāṣṭī ?; Romi Konkani: Saxtti or Xaxtti; Portuguese: Salcette) is a sub-division of South Goa district, Goa state, situated along the south-west coast of India.[3] The Sal river and its backwaters dominate the landscape of Salcete.[4] Historically, the sixty-six villages south of the Zuari river formed the original Salcette territory.[5] Salcete forms a part of the bigger Konkan coastal region thats stretches north–south through most of India's western shoreline.[6]

In erstwhile Portuguese India, the municipality of Salcette concelho located in the Velhas Conquistas (Old Conquests) of Goa was co-terminous with the undivided Salcette territory (Salcete and Mormugao talukas).[7] In 1917, the territory was bifurcated into the present-day talukas.[8] The contemporary Salcete taluka of the civil district of South Goa is a rurban area.[9] Margao serves as the administrative headquarters of both Salcete taluka and the South Goa district.[10]

Etymology[edit]

'Salcete' is the anglicised spelling of the lusitanised version "Salcette" that was derived from the Konkani word "Saxtti" which in turn is a corruption of the Sanskrit word "षट-षष्टि" ṣaṭ-ṣaṣṭi[lower-alpha 1] meaning "sixty-six".[11] According to Hindu mythology of the Konkan, the original sixty-six settlements of the Salcette territory were established by sixty-six Saraswat Brahmin clans who had emigrated here from northern India.[12] In Konkani, the natives are referred to as Saxtticar or Xaxtticar (साष्टीकार/षाष्टीकार; Sāṣṭīkār/ṣāṣṭīkār; IPA: [/'saːʂʈiːkaːɾ/] / [/'ʂaːʂʈiːkaːɾ/]).[3] The Salcete Konkani dialect of southern Goa known as 'Saxtti' is notably different from the 'Antruzi' (Ponda) and 'Bardescari' (Bardez) dialects of northern Goa.[13]

History[edit]

King Viramarmadeva of the Kadamba dynasty issued a copper-plate inscription in 1049 CE concerning a grant of a piece of land called Tudukapura in Kudtarika agrahara of Chhat sathi desha. This inscription suggests that Chhat sathi refers to modern Salcete, known as Sāshṭi in the local language.[14]

Salcette territory[edit]

The original sixty-six settlements of Salcette are as follows:[15]
