Ananta Rau Sar Dessai was a Goan short-story writer, radio playwright and poet. He wrote both in Portuguese and in Marathi. He wrote over 30 radio plays, some of which remained unbroadcast, some of which were aired via the former Emissora de Goa, some of which were published in the now-defunct Portuguese-language press of Goa, in papers such as O Heraldo and A Luta.
Sar Dessai was born in 1910 and exercised medicine in the town of Mardol, Goa. He drew on his experience as a clinician for many of his plays and short narratives.
