That's very interesting -- who was it?" She was referring to Otto Coutinho! According to Scholberg et al, Savarkar published a 232 page poem (probably a historical novel) *Gomantaka (Aitihasika Kavya) in 1934 under the pseudonym 'Maharashtra Bhat'. They translate the title of the book as *Goa. (A historical poem)*. Has anyone seen it or got access? An online version is here: https://archive.org/details/GomantakVeerSavarkar/page/n3/mode/2up?view=theater These two books by Savarkar (on Goa) seem to be rather different. One is a novel, and the other is a poem. Can anyone explain the connection?
