This is fascinating Sandra, thanks for sharing it.
You mention a team dedicated to studying Savarkar - are they based in Lisbon?

best regards,
Rochelle

Dear Bhushan,

He was the engineer Joaquim Xavier Oto de Sequeira (sometimes expelled 
Siqueira) Coutinho born in Cape Verde, being the son of a Goa doctor at the 
Portuguese colonial military medical service (José António Valeriano Coutinho) 
and brother of the writer Maria Luísa de Sequeira Coutinho. I came across him 
when doing research for my thesis. At the moment I was searching at the 
archives of Portuguese parliament the candidates to the first parliamentary 
elections after the 1910 republican revolution and came across his name. I had 
never heard of him but started digging as he was described by his supporters - 
headed by Luis de Menezes, who by that time was part of the team of the 
newspaper Debate directed by Menezes Bragança - as being "a devoted and 
years-long republican, son of this land" residing in Lisbon. He was in addition 
supported by the Portuguese Republican Party.
According to Peregrino da Costa, Sequeira Coutinho studied in Lisbon and 
Cambridge (in fact he studied in London and Oxford where there was a 
significant Indian student community). He left to Berlin and than migrated to 
the USA after working for some years with the Portuguese railways and becoming 
involved in Portuguese politics. After the revolution, he was the secretary of 
Manuel de Arriaga.
At the time of my thesis, I came across his fascinating story which has been in 
part reconstituted by the members of a team dedicated to study Savarkar and his 
network. After my thesis I was able to come into contact with his grandson in 
the United States who shared a biography of Otto written by his daughter - a 
lovely family who have facilitated me a significant number of documents. 
Basically, when in England, Oto came into contact with the Abhinav Bharat 
Society, founded by Savarkar, becoming a member or at least a sympathizer. It 
was when living there that he was entrusted the manuscript of the book, in a 
moment when Savarkar was arrested and the group, who had liaisons with Madame 
Cama in Paris, persecuted. As he was presented as a Portuguese with no links 
with India that must have been the reason for choosing him. In any case, he 
kept the manuscript until India's independence when he returned it to Savarkar. 
Along the years he kept some links with the Indian anticolonial circles. When 
still living in Portugal he ended being forced to leave the country due to 
British pressure.
In the USA he became known as a specialist in Portuguese language and history, 
in addition to being a specialist in geopolitics. He was one of members of the 
founding team of the Foreign Service School of Georgetown University which 
invested in the American sphere of influence in Latin America, among other 
assignments he took along the years. Among other honors gathered along his 
life, since the eve of the Portuguese republican revolution, in the 1950s he 
was decorated a medal by Salazar's government for his services to Portuguese 
language and historiography... .
Along the years I have gathered a significant number of documents, and I want 
one day to dedicate a proper study to him.

best wishes,

Sandra

Dear Sandra, can you please provide details of the person who saved copy of 
Savarkar's book on 1857 revolution?

That thesis about Shivaji was a motive of waste of a lot of ink.... Regarding 
Savarkar, the story shared by Sajan is absolutely delicious. What many may not 
know is that a son of Goa played an important role in saving the manuscript of 
his book on the 1857 Revolt. Best wishes, Sandra

Someone has also claimed that Shivaji was born in Bassein and was of Portuguese

It was 
reported<https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2019/05/27/son-portugal-savarkar-bjp-flays-rajasthan-congress-textbook-revision.html>
 by the Press Trust of India – a 
story<https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/fresh-feud-over-son-of-portugal-savarkar/articleshow/69529453.cms>
 then picked up major newspapers – that the Congress govt in Rajasthan had 
offered up a major insult to V D Savarkar by captioning his photograph in a 
Class X textbook, “Son of Portugal”.

Savarkar, of course, is a fairly controversial figure in post-colonial India. 
It was reported last year that a Class X text book in Goa had replaced Nehru’s 
image with that of Savarkar's (though not calling him a ‘Son of Portugal’), and 
this was roundly condemned by the Congress. Only this morning, Savarkar’s 
portrait was unveiled in the Goa Assembly complex by the Chief Minister, who 
said, “The tortures endured by Veer Savarkar during freedom struggle in Andaman 
prison in 1883 have been forgotten. People should read his autobiography”

(Actually, Mr. Sawant should read Savarkar’s biography. Savarkar was born in 
1883. He was imprisoned in the Cellular Jail in 1911).

Anyway, I was somewhat puzzled by the caption in the Rajasthan textbook, “Son 
of Portugal”. As far as I knew, Savarkar – a Chitpavan Brahmin from Nashik – 
had no Portuguese connections. And then it hit me.

While imprisoned in the Andaman & Nicobar islands, Savarkar had written several 
infamous mercy petitions to the colonial government, begging to be released. He 
wrote the first one within six months of becoming Convict No: 32778 in Cellular 
Jail. In a second petition dated 14 Nov 1913 – a fairly craven piece of work – 
Savarkar swore loyalty to the English government, “if the government in their 
manifold beneficence and mercy release me,” adding: “The Mighty alone can 
afford to be merciful and therefore where else can the prodigal son return but 
to the parental doors of the Government?”

Ah, the Prodigal Son.

Or, in Hindi, the “Son of Portugal” (पुर्तगाल का पुत्र).

The translator’s is a thankless job, and I can imagine the poor chap trying to 
make sense of ‘prodigal’ – not a common word in Hindi – and deciding Savarkar 
meant ‘Portugal’. (Savarkar, incidentally, was extremely well read in several 
languages, and contributed many words to the Marathi vocabulary. He also 
popularized the term ‘Hindutva’).

Savarkar is a bogeyman to left-liberals, and a hero to the right. He was a 
patriot, admittedly a fairly homicidal one in the non-Gandhian tradition, but 
nevertheless a deshbhakt. Though he was – and is – many things to many people, 
I’m fairly sure Savarkar was never, in his chequered career, a son of Portugal.

I’d be very happy to be proved wrong.

Sajan

How exciting, Bina! Even though you visualised it your way and the film will be 
different, hey, the ocean will look the same and, for the rest, what jolly fun
