Laxmidas
Krishna Borkar, born Dattaram Krishna Borkar
on 17 August 1925, in Kusman, Quepem, Goa, was a multifaceted figure whose life
embodied the spirit of Goan resistance, journalism, and cultural preservation.
As a freedom fighter, journalist, and writer, Borkar’s contributions to Goa’s
liberation from Portuguese rule and the nurturing of its unique identity—often
referred to as “Goan-ness”—left an indelible mark on the state’s history. His
journey, marked by courage, intellectual rigour, and a deep love for his
homeland, continues to inspire Goans today.
