It's also worth pointing out that Afonso d'Albuquerque made laws for the integration of Portuguese in Goan society, most times against the church. He gave financial incentives to Goan women who married Portuguese men and applied strict punishment to any Portuguese who hurt a Goan. This because, although bloodthirsty, Albuquerque was pragmatic to know he had to do nation building and diplomacy with the little manpower he had. It was when he left for voyages that the priests terrorized the population, Portuguese included.
Didn't know about that pragmatic side to Portugeuse rule, speaking of Afonso, do you think there should be made a video made talking more about his contributions to the Portugeuse Empure/ do you know of any other famed European adventurers who ventured to India.
@@mylesjude233 Filipe de Brito e Nicote is famous for making his own pirate kingdom, the duality of Francisco de Almeida's sense of duty and Afonso de Albuquerque's wrath, Lourenço de Almeida (Francisco de Almeida's son) and his death in the Battle of Chaul (which led Francisco to say "F it" and took his entire fleet to conquer Diu in 1509), Duarte Pacheco Pereira winning a siege with 450 soldiers against 70,000 Cochinise in the Battle of Cochin, the Battle of Mallacca which was already covered here, André Pessoa killing various samurai in swordfight in the Madre de Deus incident, Pêro da Covilhã's journey to Goa (considered the Portuguese Marco Polo). Off the top of my mind, those are a few.
It's important to understand the trader and explorer class was in constant conflict with the noble and religious class. Albuquerque taught his men Swiss tactics of phalanx and arquebus to preserve manpower, while nobles often charged to battle with no discipline cause they believed they were blessed by God or would be martyrs anyway. King João II, the one prior to Manuel, had Jews and minorities in his court as mathematicians, advisors, etc. The church was the thorn in the flesh that interfered with the trading, tolerance and cosmopolitanism.
@@miguelsomething Nice picks, in terms of European adventurers worth researching, I would recommend the likes of Claude monet ( help with the building of lucknow), as well as Begum Samru, who was a influential ruler of sardhana, who was seen as a frequent ally to the failing mughal empire from British assaults. Last question: Outside of vindaloo, do you know of other food exchanges the portugeuse did with India.
@@mylesjude233 The chili pepper was brought to India by the Portuguese from Brazil and Mexico. Without the Portuguese, spicy curry wouldn't have been invented. In Japan, Tempura comes from Têmpora which was the food Portuguese missionaries ate during Lent.
I am a Hindu living in Karnataka but every year we visit Goa as our family temple is still situated there. I am greatly in debt of my ancestors for making this decision of preserving our culture and Sanskriti.
There is an African community called siddis, they were African captured slaves that escaped from Portuguese sailors that ran into the dense western ghat jungles and are now settled in yallapura in uttara kannada, karnataka.
@Nyet Matchbox Sadly in India it was hidden by Indians only, after independence so called liberals occupied academia in our country and wrote history which would suit their narrative
Goa's culture is amazing. More than just beaches and bikinis as many people think. Here you will find Christian and Hindus celebrating each others' festivals with equal pomp and gesture. If there's feast in the town , you will find Hindu homes serving amazing meals to visitors. Here you will find Christian folks visiting " Devchar's " shrines ( devchars are village dieties) to pray for their protection. That's the beauty of Goa. Where you will find such a place. If you know such a place please do comment me:)
You'd find many Brahmin houses bearing Goan surnames in the Agraharas around the Shiva temple in Gokarna (Karnataka). I guess they have been the descendants of Goan brahmins who escape Goa during the persecution.
@Rahul all Goan Hindus r not Saraswat Brahmins u idiot we r majority Kshatriya Bhandari and Maratha and Gaud too Saraswats r just 1 community and there r Maratha Dessais too
I find it extremely sad that most Indians themselves don't know anything about this episode of Indian history. Thank you for talking about controversial topics. Indians need open discourse on these things.
Because these things are not included in text books because there is an informal deal with colonial British or atleast that's the rumour.. rumour has basis since indian history is written by Marxist leaning people they don't have any particular love towards Catholicism..so rumour might be true and it is understandable also.. British wanted religious colonial past to be hidden so that Christian minorities won't be question in those terms.

Fanaticism of Portuguese was the sole reason why their power didn't grow in India. Indian rulers always battled with Portuguese and even raided goa many times to punish Portuguese. Comparatively British were far more liberal and that's the reason they were successful in India.

The British East India Company was aware that missionaries could cause trouble so they kept an eye on their activities. However there was constant pressure in Britain to let them off the leash.
Fact: When the Portuguese discovered the magnificent Elephants caves located near Mumbai, instead of preserving, they used the idols and walls for target practice with their new guns and destroyed hundreds of idols which were more than 1000 years old.

The Portuguese had some kind of influence in Kerala (i think the cochin dynasty).Upon reaching kerala they were suprised to find an already existing ANCIENT christian community called the Nasranis (St Thomas Christians).The Portuguese called the Nasranis "heretics" and burned our historicals records ,books and literature and forced the nasranis to adopt Catholism version of Christianity.The Portuguese caused the nasranis to divide themselves into various factions( jacobites,orthodox,catholics etc).To this day those divisions exist and there are 8 divisions within the Nasranis today.
The Portuguese had a major influence on some communities in Kerala. Their army attacked Jews and forcibly converted Nestorian ("Syrian") Christians to Roman Catholicism. After the army left the ex-Nestorians had no priests, so they applied for help to the Patriarchs in the Middle East and most of the "Syrian Orthodox" ended up as Jacobites: which was for Catholics the opposite heresy to the Nestorians. The Portuguese took away the Syriac books and manuscripts for "correction." Many were probably destroyed, either in India or after archiving in Portugal. So a lot of history has been lost.
I don't know if there is still scope for researching that side of Indian history in the archives of Portugal and the Vatican, even without the Inquisition's records.
They left Goa because of Tipu Sultan's invasion. That is why not only Hindus but even Goan Christians left with them to settle in Karnataka. Today, the Konkani population in Karnataka consists both of Goan Hindus and Christians.
Let me tell you one thing, this is a great video. Just for the fact that such important details were never known to us Indians even after 73 years of Independence from Colonial rule! This is really shocking and heart breaking. Even Voltaire commented on it and we never knew of it!!! How can anyone be so cruel? I live in state neighboring Goa, with similar culture but we vaguely know about this horrendous cruelty! What is more bad? Doing such crimes or hiding such crimes from popular memory?

@@mvalthegamer2450 There are very few temples in old Conquista areas of Goa and most of them were built after the liberation of Goa from the Portuguese. Our ancestral temple, which was located on the river island of Divar was destroyed by the Portuguese and was reestablished in Sonde kings area of Khandola (Ganapathi). The Ganapati Temple was located on the island of Goa at the hilltop. Presently there is a cemetery attached to Lady of piety church, where the Temple used to be. Recently a local catholic had donated a chunk of land near this church and a small temple dedicated to Ganesh has bee built there.

Well you should study a bit more and not rely only on youtube videos. Though there is no lie here, they failed to mention that in Goa, before the portuguese arrived, the widowers were burned alive when their husband died and this was stopped by the portuguese. I'm not justifying the inquisition, but you have to put it in perspective for the time. Although it seems horrendous for today's eyes, societies back then were brutal. In addition to that, when Goa was integrated in the Indian state, it's population was completely integrated in Portuguese society and wanted to remain as such. That's why most of them fled from Goa to other portuguese colonies. There was no independence for Goa, there was a violent conquest of Goa by India. And during that conquest the indians massacred the goese population. Those crimes perpretated by India were much more recent and go untold and hidden from popular memory, during a period where life in Goa was good. You don't care about those, hein? Also, what do you think life was on the sultanate around Goa? Better than life on Goa during portuguese rule? Please
Should have included the Kerala Syrian Christians and their encounters with the Portuguese. The Portuguese found two native Christian communities in India the St. Thomas Christians and the Knanaya, known together as the Kerala Syrian Christians or Nazrani. There’s a plethora of sources on the interactions between them and the Portuguese. The Portuguese would later persecute these native Christians.

The Portuguese were religious fanatics at that period of time . It was the darkest around in the Christian history of Europe . The Portuguese not only punished the Hindus/ Muslims but also the native Saint Thomas Christian community that existed since 2000 years in Kerala .

"As soon as I arrived in any heathen village..when all are baptized I order all the temples of their false gods to be destroyed and all the idols to be broken to pieces. I can give you no idea of the joy I feel in seeing this done" - Francis Xavier Christians in India consider him as "Saint". Major educational institutions of Christians are naned after him
Part of practices are still under progress even in India with different name called Conversion. It spread everywhere in India esp South India and North East India.
It's unbelievable the man who brought the inquisition to goa is being revered as a saint and his remains are still there for people to see... its also a major tourist site in goa. the 400-year-old Bom Jesus church still exists with his remains.
St Francis Xavier's request for inquisition was not accepted and it started after his death. What he intended it to be and what it turned into were unlikely . Hindus in goa also celebrate his feast
The so called remains of Francis Xavier exhibited in Goa belong to a Sinhalese Buddhist monk from Sri Lanka. His name is Ven. Thotagamuwe Sri Rahula Thero The Catholic Church refuses a request for a DNA test to determine the authenticity of the remains as that of Francis Xavier.
Idk if anyone knows this... But there was another common torture practice, non-Christians were tied to a metal pole with their hands cut and left in the sun without any provisions. There are still many poles like that present! But luckily they have lost their use.

King Joao III of Portugal wrote: “the great concernment which lies upon Christian princes to look to matters of Faith and to employ its forces for its preservation makes me advise how sensible I am that not only in many parts of India under our subjection but even in our city of Goa, idols are worshipped, places in which our Faith may be more reasonable expected to flourish; and being well informed with how much liberty they celebrate their heathenish festivals, we command you to discover by diligent officers all the idols and to demolish and break them up In pieces where they are found, proclaiming severe punishments against anyone who dares to work, cast, make in sculpture, engrave, paint or bring to light any figure of idol in metal, brass, wood, plaster or any other matter, or bring them from other places; and against who publicly or privately celebrate any of their sports, keep by them any heathenish frankincense or assist and hide the Brahmins, the sworn enemies of the Christian profession… It is our pleasure that you punish them with the severity of the law without admitting any appeal or dispensation in the least.”

It was for those same policies why Muslims (that is the Almoravid and Almohad dyanasties) lost the Iberian Peninsula from the Christian Kingdoms, like Portugal, so, it seems what comes around comes around.
@@armandovaiandando6472 the Almoravids weren’t around for long though, an later successor fiefdoms like the Emirate of Granada or the Emirate of Córdoba reverted to the far more tolerant ways for the Umayyads, thankfully. Sadly, it wasn’t to last as the fractured Muslim holdings in the peninsula were no match for the growing power of the Northern Christian realms, and it wasn’t long before the kingdoms of Astorias, Galicia, Leon and Castile formed into the Kingdom of Castile. Just as soon as they had conquered Seville, and Portugal Algarve, they became just as bad, if not worse than the Almoravids. At least they didn’t destroy Alhambra.
That’s not why Portugal lost their empire. They lost much of it because they were too small of a country and the land they owned was too big, also because they lost their war against the Dutch. Discrimination had nothing to do with why they lost their empire, it was the desire of freedom for why they lost it. Compared to other European nations Portuguese were much more tolerant of other races and had a high degree of intermixing with locals.
That's literally every empire in history. Also the main reason for Ummayad empire fall was the Abbasid coup which i really don't think it has alot to do with policies...... Abbasid also lost their empire because they gave too much power to their vassals & client states..
An yet for some reason, religious people (aka evangelical christians, Islamic extremists, and insert religious radicals here). Think this behavior is A ok so long as its their religion doing the oppressing.. Theocratic rule just doesn't work for long term. Iran's Islamic state has been around since 1979 and even now in 2021 its control is not very stable.
Great video, thanks, I can definitely relate to this! My ancestors (the GSBs) left everything they had in Goa and settled near Mangalore.

The Inquisition targeted fake converts, not those who remained Hindu. The numbers executed were not many, less than 60 in total (also not all were of Hindu origin) from 1560 to 1812. More than 90% of the natives converted by the early 1700s, and so the native Goan majority knows but doesn't care.

Some fact is that we Brazilians contributed to did this in India, ... Many times indigenous natives of Guaraní nation was used with Brazilian caboclos as portuguese army that massacred many rebelds in India... They came as punitive expedictions of bandeirantes of São Paulo, to Goa and Diu
Brother, that’s the least of what Brasil did. I’d look closer to home… maybe to Paraguay. It disgusts me that everyone here is engaging in a stupid morality competition over who was more victimized by the evil Portuguese from 500 years ago instead of assimilating the lesson on display here. My country did plenty of fucked up shit. Taken globally, India was actually lucky; what we did there isn’t a patch on what we did in Africa. Brasil, a part of Portugal for much of it’s existence and a country created by settlers, not natives, also did plenty of fucked up shit, both before and after independence. India, the portrayed victim in this context, is a completely artificial creation of the British Empire, that has, since it’s independence, developed a robust concept of nationhood. It had a varied list of atrocities committed both on the native states and their neighbors before British rule, and also managed to rack up quite the list of atrocities after independence, some of which can be felt to this day. Unlike both Brasil and Portugal, it is the only of these three countries that maintains several border claims and disputes, including the occupation of a territory in which the will of the native population was not respected. Nobody’s hands are clean. This is just how history is. It is up to us who study it to learn from it, instead of using it to fuel further resentment and hatred.
Shefali Vaidya has a brilliant presentation on Goan inquisition from a Hindu perspective. Her great grand parents experienced it first hand and passed the story on to their generation.
Is it true that caste word originated from the word casta in Portuguese language?Because I have never caste word in any Indian language vocabulary or even old English vocabulary?
Yes it did. But some people go to far extream by saying that Jati/Varna discrimination is a colonial thing. Nah! It has been present before India was subject to multiple invasions. Although one can also agree that it got more rigid after invasions.
@Nyet Matchbox The very fact that they could play people of different castes against each other tells you how bad the system was. And no it did not get rigid because they played different castes against each other. It got rigid because our culture was in danger and any culture becomes rigid when faced with an external threat. So did caste. The rigidity in caste prevented people from easily converting to other faiths.
@Nyet Matchbox I do not agree with the point of view that Varna system was ever good and that there ever was an original form of Varna system in practice. The very fact that 4 Varnas turned into so many thousands of Jatis tells you how inefficient this system was.
@@vibhavdeshpande8196 ,Thank you for explanation.Do you think that the varna system need to be reform to eradicate the discrimination or eradicate itself?
@@yudhirencathapermal5404 Well I don't think that Varna system is in existence today. It is the Jati system which is there. It's not a simple upper caste lower caste thing anymore. Its more complicated than that. Jati today is a sub community which provides privileges and networks to members of that community. Today the problem of Jati is not scriptural. It's more of a social problem. I can give you some problems. Stereotyping of people from other Jatis, competition among different Jatis to create lobbies in different organizations, protesting for inclusion in reservations and the politics of different Jatis. It's like an undeclared civil war. The solutions cannot be radical. You cannot ask people to give up their Jatis. Just because some of us never felt a sense of belonging to a Jati does not mean rest of the society doesn't feel so. So it's going to be a slow process. Urbanisation of society is going to be the greatest contributor to get rid of Jatis. When you are living in urban society where you get to interact with people from different Jatis, the stereotyping starts to fall off. On the social front, I think Hindu unity and Hindu consolidation would be an important thing. So Hindutva can be a great force to negate Jati. I feel we are headed in the right direction. I feel Jati is going to die a slow death in next 1-2 centuries.

The Conquistadores killed millions of the indigenous inhabitants of what are now Mexico and the Yucatan. Before the conquest the population is believed to have numbered some 25 million; immediately after it fewer than seven million. By 1650 only about one and a half million pure-blooded natives remained. Following traditional Christian techniques, temples were pulled down to be replaced by cathedrals. Whole cities were destroyed, and new Christian ones constructed. For example modern Mexico City stands on the site of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán and its cathedral on the site of one of the greatest Aztec temples. Some remote cities that survived for a time were concealed under encroaching jungle and have only recently been rediscovered. We know the Incas were great artists because some of their art has survived.
Everything is correct but you forgot to tell that its Kannada & Konkani which was major language of Goa back then not marathi. Kadamba kingdom ruled Goa for 100s of yrs and their administration language was Kannada & Konkani. Marathi rose only during maratha empire. And also you must give credit to King Nelavadi of Shimmoga who fought bravely against Portugese of Goa. Konkanis of Goa are found mainly in Uttara Kannada district & Karavali region because King Nelavadi of Shimmoga who used to rule these region gave refugee to them
I believe some sources referred to Marathi as the language often used by Hindu nobility at the time in Goa, whereas Konkani was the common language, but you’re likely correct about Kannada being important as well.

How Western imperialists suppress their oppressors and "the others", it's outright disgusting. From a Malaysian perspective, I find it even more bizarre that many Indian Malaysians still defend Western interests in Southeast Asia. Perhaps, the Orientalists have successfully rewritten our history to the extent many of our beautiful minds have become imprisoned. Again, an excellent video from you. Thank you for bringing justice to history.
Thank you so much! I agree wholeheartedly - it’s sad to see how many in SE Asia take the side of Western colonial powers. I’m glad to have shown some clarifying history!
Well, I certainly wasn't expecting the Portuguese Inquisition. Seriously though, it was always amazing to me how different could be the approach of the authorities in different Catholic powers of this period to the matters of religion. Poland-Lithuania being on the opposite side of the spectrum than Portugal and Spain. Also, nice job of showing that the Inquisition was de facto also something like a state political police.
Ignore the video and others like it. This video leaves out facts that aren't pro-Hindu, like the temples being demolished only after the majority of the natives converted to Catholicism. It ignores the contemporary accounts written about the voluntary conversions of natives during the 1500s. Also that over 90% of the natives were Catholic by the early 1700s.
My ancestor converted to Catholicism 200 years ago, my Grand parents came from Goa to Mangalore, spoke Konkani, Kannada, Hindi and English. Terrible things were and are done in the name of religion unfortunately this is history in general and the dark side of human behaviour.

Some spread the news that he destroyed the culture but the letters prove that he actually learned the native languages, roamed with native people and ate their food. What about his clothings? Well he could not do anything about it because as a Priest it is demanded of every priest that they remain in their Cassock all the time. Certain liberties were rewarded only after the second Vatican Council (1962-1965). The inquisition was meant for wiping out Hindu religion and many were burnt at stakes and executed…how true is it? All the historians agree that the inquisition was not meant for any other but the Newly convert Christians who were falling back to their old practices. Francis Pyrard, a French traveller, was in Goa during the period July 1608 to January 1610. In his account of his travels he gives the following information of the Inquisition of Goa : The Indian Gentiles and Moors, of whatsover religion, are not subject to this Inquisition unless they have become Christians, and even then are not so rigorously dealt with as the Portuguese or New Christians from Portugal, or other Christians from Europe. But if peradventure an Indian, Moor, or Gentile inhabitant of Goa, had dissuaded or hindered another that was minded to become Christian, and that was proved against him, he would be punished by the Inquisition, as would be he who has caused another to quit Christianity; such cases often happen. The reason why they treat these Indian thus rigorously is that they suppose tluit they cannot be so steadfast in the faith as the old Christians ; also that it will prevent the rest from being led astray. For the same reason, too, they permit them to retain some of their petty Gentile and Mahomedan superstitions, such as not eating pork or beef, not drinking wine, and keeping to their former dress and ornaments, that is among men as well as women that are become Christians.[27] In fact there are evidences that the Portuguese brought about certain reforms in the society which the Hindu community had imposed on others and oppressed the lower class and women. For example the Portuguese dealt strictly with Sati. “ No Hindu woman, living in the territories of Salsete or Bardez, or in this island of Goa or any other island annexed thereto, shall bum herself alive on account In fact there are evidences that the Portuguese brought about certain reforms in the society which the Hindu community had imposed on others and oppressed the lower class and women. For example the Portuguese dealt strictly with Sati. “ No Hindu woman, living in the territories of Salsete or Bardez, or in this island of Goa or any other island annexed thereto, shall bum herself alive on account of the death of her husband. Any person who causes such a woman to be burnt alive, or for that purpose render an advice or help, be he a relation of the woman who has burnt herself or not, shall be liable to the penalty of loss of his entire estate, one half to the person who denounces him and the other for the works of the home of Apostle St. Thomas, and im¬ prisonment for life.[28] There were forced conversions. Really? The Newly converts were forcefully converted and were returning to their old religion out of love for it…really?? Hindus were persecuted and temples were broken down. How true is it and Was it a regular event? This is a big question. In fact these are many questions. I formally thought of addressing it one by one but these are interconnected and I may repeat things again and again that’s why I thought of integrating them together. And once again I would like to remind that we need to move from interpreting history to interpreting history in its context and circumstances. We cannot interpret histories according to the mindset and concepts of today. Just some decades ago, some tribes of the African deserts were cannibals, they have recently stopped their taste for human meat. Can you still judge them? III.3.1. NO FORCED CONVERSIONS AS REGULAR PATTERN Well, it is true that Afonso Albuquerque used a very easy technique to get the people to be Christians. However, we should know that it was the part of agreement with the local Hindus and the Portuguese under Albuquerque when they sought his help to fight the Muslims. If they were not happy with it shouldn’t they have rather died for their religion instead of converting to new one? Bragging about the situation makes no sense. Therefore, what people like Shefali try to show a picture is that they were forced. Not at all, they had a choice and an agreement. If you ask me whether there forced conversions in times of St. Francis Xavier or if he forcefully converted anyone the I would give a certainly NO. Let me first begin by saying that in the year 1567 the Portuguese King had come out with the edict that no one should be forced to convert or there would be severe punishment. “ In the first place it is hereby laid down that it is not lawful to bring to our faith and baptism any person by force with threats and terror, because no one comes to Christ by faith unless brought by the Celestial father with voluntary love and prevenient grace. Just as a person if by his free will he succumbs to the temptations of the Devil, perishes, so also if he responds to the call and grace of God he saves himself. The unbelievers should be brought to the true faith by the example of our lives, preaching of the truth of our law and the confutation of their errors so that by recognition of these things, they will give up their lies, and be received in Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life. Those who wish to bring the unbelievers to the true faith must also seek to cultivate gentleness and goodness in order that they may win persons to Christ, not merely by their preachings but also by kindness, courtesy and service .”[29] We should evaluate this edict. It was not merely any other order with a selfish motive behind the mind of the King to protect trade but a deep theological discourse. First of all he quotes the Scriptures to draw his conclusion. no one comes to Christ by faith unless brought by the Celestial father with voluntary love and prevenient grace.

Another excellent episode. The Indian subcontinet has to have one of the most puzzlingly neglected histories in the world. It is rich with great kingdoms and rulers, forgotten battles and empires, fascinating people. The people of India (and the world) really ought to know more about it.

Wow wonderful video! Please do a video on Kerala and the kingdoms of Calicut, Cochin and Travancore! Especially of their battles and relationships with the Portuguese!
This is an illuminating and informative video about the history of Goa. I greatly appreciate the effort you've put in to do it. As an Indian I myself was not aware of the atrocities that was perpetrated on Indian soil by the erstwhile Portuguese monarchy. Good thing that Goa was annexed by the Indian Armed Forces in 1961.
As a Portuguese person, this is why I hate the influence of the church in my country's history. When you start studying the age of discovery, you can see that at first, the Portuguese would just have trading posts, would mingle, marry, have kids and learn with the locals. The primary objective was trading good. When the Vatican started having a saying in the Portuguese court, everything turned very bad, very fast. I can trace my family name to the first wave of "new" Christians but records before that were lost,so, I don't know if it was actually a Jewish names or a name my family adopted when they were forcefully converted.
As coisas no Brasil teriam sido muito piores se não fosse a Igreja.

@Anjana Anjuuu Hinduism is not like a certain "faith" which scares the poor followers into obeying the rules of an angry and jealous "God". So we have do's and don'ts, no commandments. Hindus are free to act as they wish but they will have to bear the consequences of their actions. Good action will result in good karma and bad action will result in bad karma for the soul. The laws of karma are eternal and are closely tied up with reincarnation. So anyone should think long and hard about how they act in this world.

The inquisition happened mostly in the coastal region (old conquest) of Goa. The central(hilly) and eastern(western ghat) region came under Portuguese rule only in the late eighteenth century. That too the vassals of marathas and later the wadiyars signed a treaty to protect the temples in the 'new conquest'.

The inquisition was not just a religiously motivated process but alsoa colonial process. During they inquisition they banned the usage of Konkani (the native langauge), both speaking and writing were banned and all books were burned, the practice of local customs and traditions were also banned.

It's also worth pointing out that Afonso d'Albuquerque made laws for the integration of Portuguese in Goan society, most times against the church. He gave financial incentives to Goan women who married Portuguese men and applied strict punishment to any Portuguese who hurt a Goan. This because, although bloodthirsty, Albuquerque was pragmatic to know he had to do nation building and diplomacy with the little manpower he had. It was when he left for voyages that the priests terrorized the population, Portuguese included.
Didn't know about that pragmatic side to Portugeuse rule, speaking of Afonso, do you think there should be made a video made talking more about his contributions to the Portugeuse Empure/ do you know of any other famed European adventurers who ventured to India.

Off the top of my mind, those are a few.
It's important to understand the trader and explorer class was in constant conflict with the noble and religious class. Albuquerque taught his men Swiss tactics of phalanx and arquebus to preserve manpower, while nobles often charged to battle with no discipline cause they believed they were blessed by God or would be martyrs anyway. King João II, the one prior to Manuel, had Jews and minorities in his court as mathematicians, advisors, etc. The church was the thorn in the flesh that interfered with the trading, tolerance and cosmopolitanism.

The Portuguese had some kind of influence in Kerala (i think the cochin dynasty).Upon reaching kerala they were suprised to find an already existing ANCIENT christian community called the Nasranis (St Thomas Christians).The Portuguese called the Nasranis "heretics" and burned our historicals records ,books and literature and forced the nasranis to adopt Catholism version of Christianity.The Portuguese caused the nasranis to divide themselves into various factions( jacobites,orthodox,catholics etc).To this day those divisions exist and there are 8 divisions within the Nasranis today.
Yep! Thanks for providing additional information 🙏🏽
The Portuguese had a major influence on some communities in Kerala. Their army attacked Jews and forcibly converted Nestorian ("Syrian") Christians to Roman Catholicism.
After the army left the ex-Nestorians had no priests, so they applied for help to the Patriarchs in the Middle East and most of the "Syrian Orthodox" ended up as Jacobites: which was for Catholics the opposite heresy to the Nestorians.
The Portuguese took away the Syriac books and manuscripts for "correction." Many were probably destroyed, either in India or after archiving in Portugal. So a lot of history has been lost.
@@faithlesshound5621 nestorian Christianity still exist
@@rebeccaanderson5626 Sure, but Nestorians are outnumbered now by Jacobites in India.
I don't know if there is still scope for researching that side of Indian history in the archives of Portugal and the Vatican, even without the Inquisition's records.
My ancestors were goan Hindus
And I am grateful that they escaped this hell and safely came Into Karnataka
They left Goa because of Tipu Sultan's invasion. That is why not only Hindus but even Goan Christians left with them to settle in Karnataka. Today, the Konkani population in Karnataka consists both of Goan Hindus and Christians.
They settled in bijapur sultanate not karnataka.
Don't worry, your present government is making life hell for all non Hindus! Congrats on revenge

This is really shocking and heart breaking. Even Voltaire commented on it and we never knew of it!!! How can anyone be so cruel? I live in state neighboring Goa, with similar culture but we vaguely know about this horrendous cruelty! What is more bad? Doing such crimes or hiding such crimes from popular memory?

@@OddCompass Maybe because quite a few temples were rebuilt and the legacy thoroughly erased? I mean there are temples in goa today
@@mvalthegamer2450 There are very few temples in old Conquista areas of Goa and most of them were built after the liberation of Goa from the Portuguese.
Our ancestral temple, which was located on the river island of Divar was destroyed by the Portuguese and was reestablished in Sonde kings area of Khandola (Ganapathi). The Ganapati Temple was located on the island of Goa at the hilltop. Presently there is a cemetery attached to Lady of piety church, where the Temple used to be.
Recently a local catholic had donated a chunk of land near this church and a small temple dedicated to Ganesh has bee built there.

Well you should study a bit more and not rely only on youtube videos. Though there is no lie here, they failed to mention that in Goa, before the portuguese arrived, the widowers were burned alive when their husband died and this was stopped by the portuguese. I'm not justifying the inquisition, but you have to put it in perspective for the time. Although it seems horrendous for today's eyes, societies back then were brutal.
In addition to that, when Goa was integrated in the Indian state, it's population was completely integrated in Portuguese society and wanted to remain as such. That's why most of them fled from Goa to other portuguese colonies. There was no independence for Goa, there was a violent conquest of Goa by India. And during that conquest the indians massacred the goese population. Those crimes perpretated by India were much more recent and go untold and hidden from popular memory, during a period where life in Goa was good. You don't care about those, hein? Also, what do you think life was on the sultanate around Goa? Better than life on Goa during portuguese rule? Please
Should have included the Kerala Syrian Christians and their encounters with the Portuguese. The Portuguese found two native Christian communities in India the St. Thomas Christians and the Knanaya, known together as the Kerala Syrian Christians or Nazrani. There’s a plethora of sources on the interactions between them and the Portuguese. The Portuguese would later persecute these native Christians.
Why did they persecute them?
@@snaik9141 They couldn’t agree with the Nasrani following the Syriac liturgical tradition, nor their Hindu inculurated identity.
@j1966t1969still truth will not change that Portuguese people did inquisition to native Indians
@@snaik9141 Because these gandu European Christians believe Jesus was a White man with blue eyes and blond hair. They cant accept the fact that they are not the first christians and the fact that Christianity is a religion of the east. Its my way or the highway
Could you refer to any sources of video or books or talks on this?
My ancestors escaped Goa too. We still speak Konkani and carry Goan Surnames like mine is "Vernekar" which means a person from "Verna" (which is a town in Goa)
The Portuguese were religious fanatics at that period of time .
It was the darkest around in the Christian history of Europe .
The Portuguese not only punished the Hindus/ Muslims but also the native Saint Thomas Christian community that existed since 2000 years in Kerala .
Yh. I'm a bit mixed in heritage. But i know my ancestors escaped from Iberia to North-Morocco for the same reasons. It's crazy.
@@saraqostahterra4548 well the past was a pretty bad time
@@rebeccaanderson5626 The Europeans
Didn’t want any non Christians in their territories so that they didn’t take over and start persecuting the catholic
The Portuguese didn’t like Jews because they ordered for his death
They didn’t like Muslims because they ruled their lands and made them pay tax for being Christian
They didn’t like Hindus because they worshiped statues and a lotta gods
Eitherway the inquisition is not a very bright part of catholic history
@@popefrancis8153 first of all you are technically bit correct but also wrong . The office of Inquisition was run by the secular authorities of the state and not by the church . All the execution that was done to the heretics was done by the state authorities not by the church.

@@dogecoin6080 when they will know more about the truth they won’t celebrate, also, they might be just pretending
The so called remains of Francis Xavier exhibited in Goa belong to a Sinhalese Buddhist monk from Sri Lanka. His name is Ven. Thotagamuwe Sri Rahula Thero
The Catholic Church refuses a request for a DNA test to determine the authenticity of the remains as that of Francis Xavier.
Idk if anyone knows this... But there was another common torture practice, non-Christians were tied to a metal pole with their hands cut and left in the sun without any provisions. There are still many poles like that present! But luckily they have lost their use.

Ummaiads : First time ?
It was for those same policies why Muslims (that is the Almoravid and Almohad dyanasties) lost the Iberian Peninsula from the Christian Kingdoms, like Portugal, so, it seems what comes around comes around.
@@armandovaiandando6472 the Almoravids weren’t around for long though, an later successor fiefdoms like the Emirate of Granada or the Emirate of Córdoba reverted to the far more tolerant ways for the Umayyads, thankfully. Sadly, it wasn’t to last as the fractured Muslim holdings in the peninsula were no match for the growing power of the Northern Christian realms, and it wasn’t long before the kingdoms of Astorias, Galicia, Leon and Castile formed into the Kingdom of Castile. Just as soon as they had conquered Seville, and Portugal Algarve, they became just as bad, if not worse than the Almoravids. At least they didn’t destroy Alhambra.
That’s not why Portugal lost their empire. They lost much of it because they were too small of a country and the land they owned was too big, also because they lost their war against the Dutch. Discrimination had nothing to do with why they lost their empire, it was the desire of freedom for why they lost it. Compared to other European nations Portuguese were much more tolerant of other races and had a high degree of intermixing with locals.
That's literally every empire in history. Also the main reason for Ummayad empire fall was the Abbasid coup which i really don't think it has alot to do with policies...... Abbasid also lost their empire because they gave too much power to their vassals & client states..
An yet for some reason, religious people (aka evangelical christians, Islamic extremists, and insert religious radicals here).
Think this behavior is A ok so long as its their religion doing the oppressing..

The Inquisition targeted fake converts, not those who remained Hindu. The numbers executed were not many, less than 60 in total (also not all were of Hindu origin) from 1560 to 1812. More than 90% of the natives converted by the early 1700s, and so the native Goan majority knows but doesn't care.

Many times indigenous natives of Guaraní nation was used with Brazilian caboclos as portuguese army that massacred many rebelds in India...
They came as punitive expedictions of bandeirantes of São Paulo, to Goa and Diu
Not your fault. They were conscripts anyways. There were even many Indian conscripts fighting for them.
It reminds me of male revolt
Brother, that’s the least of what Brasil did. I’d look closer to home… maybe to Paraguay.
It disgusts me that everyone here is engaging in a stupid morality competition over who was more victimized by the evil Portuguese from 500 years ago instead of assimilating the lesson on display here.
My country did plenty of fucked up shit. Taken globally, India was actually lucky; what we did there isn’t a patch on what we did in Africa.
Brasil, a part of Portugal for much of it’s existence and a country created by settlers, not natives, also did plenty of fucked up shit, both before and after independence.
India, the portrayed victim in this context, is a completely artificial creation of the British Empire, that has, since it’s independence, developed a robust concept of nationhood. It had a varied list of atrocities committed both on the native states and their neighbors before British rule, and also managed to rack up quite the list of atrocities after independence, some of which can be felt to this day. Unlike both Brasil and Portugal, it is the only of these three countries that maintains several border claims and disputes, including the occupation of a territory in which the will of the native population was not respected.
Nobody’s hands are clean. This is just how history is. It is up to us who study it to learn from it, instead of using it to fuel further resentment and hatred.
I bet Indians in goa never knew their heritage .. Hats off to your channel
They probably did, considering that Goa remained a part of Portugal until 1961.
Shefali Vaidya has a brilliant presentation on Goan inquisition from a Hindu perspective. Her great grand parents experienced it first hand and passed the story on to their generation.
Is it true that caste word originated from the word casta in Portuguese language?Because I have never caste word in any Indian language vocabulary or even old English vocabulary?
Yes it did. But some people go to far extream by saying that Jati/Varna discrimination is a colonial thing. Nah! It has been present before India was subject to multiple invasions. Although one can also agree that it got more rigid after invasions.
@Nyet Matchbox The very fact that they could play people of different castes against each other tells you how bad the system was. And no it did not get rigid because they played different castes against each other. It got rigid because our culture was in danger and any culture becomes rigid when faced with an external threat. So did caste. The rigidity in caste prevented people from easily converting to other faiths.
@Nyet Matchbox I do not agree with the point of view that Varna system was ever good and that there ever was an original form of Varna system in practice. The very fact that 4 Varnas turned into so many thousands of Jatis tells you how inefficient this system was.
@@vibhavdeshpande8196 ,Thank you for explanation.Do you think that the varna system need to be reform to eradicate the discrimination or eradicate itself?
@@yudhirencathapermal5404 Well I don't think that Varna system is in existence today. It is the Jati system which is there. It's not a simple upper caste lower caste thing anymore. Its more complicated than that. Jati today is a sub community which provides privileges and networks to members of that community. Today the problem of Jati is not scriptural. It's more of a social problem. I can give you some problems. Stereotyping of people from other Jatis, competition among different Jatis to create lobbies in different organizations, protesting for inclusion in reservations and the politics of different Jatis. It's like an undeclared civil war. The solutions cannot be radical. You cannot ask people to give up their Jatis. Just because some of us never felt a sense of belonging to a Jati does not mean rest of the society doesn't feel so. So it's going to be a slow process. Urbanisation of society is going to be the greatest contributor to get rid of Jatis. When you are living in urban society where you get to interact with people from different Jatis, the stereotyping starts to fall off. On the social front, I think Hindu unity and Hindu consolidation would be an important thing. So Hindutva can be a great force to negate Jati. I feel we are headed in the right direction. I feel Jati is going to die a slow death in next 1-2 centuries.

Waooo....thats a great logic.
@@saurangadas Do you have proof that they tortured people?
Because from what I know most of the inquisition accusation comes from Protestant England in a bid to make Catholicism look bad
Even though they were burning people for being a witch without a proper trail
The Conquistadores killed millions of the indigenous inhabitants of what are now Mexico and the Yucatan. Before the conquest the population is believed to have numbered some 25 million; immediately after it fewer than seven million. By 1650 only about one and a half million pure-blooded natives remained. Following traditional Christian techniques, temples were pulled down to be replaced by cathedrals. Whole cities were destroyed, and new Christian ones constructed. For example modern Mexico City stands on the site of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán and its cathedral on the site of one of the greatest Aztec temples. Some remote cities that survived for a time were concealed under encroaching jungle and have only recently been rediscovered. We know the Incas were great artists because some of their art has survived.
@@vijnanabandhu2167 they never killed them
Most of them died of disease
But I guess that doesn’t make the Christians sound bad
So let’s lie
Everything is correct but you forgot to tell that its Kannada & Konkani which was major language of Goa back then not marathi. Kadamba kingdom ruled Goa for 100s of yrs and their administration language was Kannada & Konkani. Marathi rose only during maratha empire. And also you must give credit to King Nelavadi of Shimmoga who fought bravely against Portugese of Goa. Konkanis of Goa are found mainly in Uttara Kannada district & Karavali region because King Nelavadi of Shimmoga who used to rule these region gave refugee to them
I believe some sources referred to Marathi as the language often used by Hindu nobility at the time in Goa, whereas Konkani was the common language, but you’re likely correct about Kannada being important as well. It’s worth noting that Marathi rose during the Ahmadnagar Sultanate, before the Maratha Empire
@@OddCompass Marathi Rose during the time of Senua Yadavas,who themselves were of Kannada origin but assimilated into the Marathi society and became Marathi.They were the first people to make Marathi there state language.It is because of them Marathi became one of the three major languages in the Deccan(other being Kannada and Telugu).Marathi was originally limited to a similar area as of Konkani but it was the Yadavas who spread it.Later Few Deccani Sultanates and Maratha Empire also patronised Marathi.
@@thedailyjusteen7742 yep Marathi was the official language of administration for the Ahmednagar Sultanate and it was one of three principal lanaguges of administration and literature of the Bijapur Sultanate along with Kannada and Dakhani Urdu.
@@OddCompass what rubbish
1)Konkani is older than marathi
2) we r not kannad not ethnically or linguistically that way even Persian was the court language under Adil Shah in Goa but it is still not spoken by us we only speak Konkani ok all migrations were from Rajasthan (Bhandari and Maratha), Kaashmir(Saraswats), Dhangar(Gujarat), Gaud(Chita Nagpur Plateau)
None from the south
@@snaik9141 Correct. Konkani was the people's language, although the administrative language differed. Kannada during Kadambas, Persian during Delhi sultanate, Kannada and Telugu during Vijayanagar, back to Persian during Bahamanis and Bijapuris, then Portuguese in Velhas Conquistas from 1510 till 1961, Marathi was official language in Novas Conquistas only during Maratha Empire period from 1600s to 1700s.

Well, I certainly wasn't expecting the Portuguese Inquisition.
Seriously though, it was always amazing to me how different could be the approach of the authorities in different Catholic powers of this period to the matters of religion. Poland-Lithuania being on the opposite side of the spectrum than Portugal and Spain. Also, nice job of showing that the Inquisition was de facto also something like a state political police.
Ignore the video and others like it. This video leaves out facts that aren't pro-Hindu, like the temples being demolished only after the majority of the natives converted to Catholicism. It ignores the contemporary accounts written about the voluntary conversions of natives during the 1500s. Also that over 90% of the natives were Catholic by the early 1700s.
My ancestor converted to Catholicism 200 years ago, my Grand parents came from Goa to Mangalore, spoke Konkani, Kannada, Hindi and English. Terrible things were and are done in the name of religion unfortunately this is history in general and the dark side of human behaviour.

Ohhhh... so this is the reason for higher Christian % in Goa! I never knew this. This should be taught in history books. All the atrocities committed on Indians is often ignored in our history books. When we don't learn from our past, we are bound to fall into the same hell again.

Well he could not do anything about it because as a Priest it is demanded of every priest that they remain in their Cassock all the time. Certain liberties were rewarded only after the second Vatican Council (1962-1965).
The inquisition was meant for wiping out Hindu religion and many were burnt at stakes and executed…how true is it?
All the historians agree that the inquisition was not meant for any other but the Newly convert Christians who were falling back to their old practices.
Francis Pyrard, a French traveller, was in Goa during the
period July 1608 to January 1610. In his account of his travels
he gives the following information of the Inquisition of Goa :
The Indian Gentiles and Moors, of whatsover religion,
are not subject to this Inquisition unless they have become
Christians, and even then are not so rigorously dealt with as the Portuguese or New Christians from Portugal, or other Christians
from Europe. But if peradventure an Indian, Moor, or Gentile
inhabitant of Goa, had dissuaded or hindered another that was
minded to become Christian, and that was proved against him, he
would be punished by the Inquisition, as would be he who has
caused another to quit Christianity; such cases often happen.
The reason why they treat these Indian thus rigorously is that
they suppose tluit they cannot be so steadfast in the faith as the old
Christians ; also that it will prevent the rest from being led astray.
For the same reason, too, they permit them to retain some of their
petty Gentile and Mahomedan superstitions, such as not eating
pork or beef, not drinking wine, and keeping to their former
dress and ornaments, that is among men as well as women that
are become Christians.[27]
In fact there are evidences that the Portuguese brought about certain reforms in the society which the Hindu community had imposed on others and oppressed the lower class and women. For example the Portuguese dealt strictly with Sati.
“ No Hindu woman, living in the territories of Salsete or
Bardez, or in this island of Goa or any other island annexed thereto,
shall bum herself alive on account
In fact there are evidences that the Portuguese brought about certain reforms in the society which the Hindu community had imposed on others and oppressed the lower class and women. For example the Portuguese dealt strictly with Sati.
“ No Hindu woman, living in the territories of Salsete or
Bardez, or in this island of Goa or any other island annexed thereto,
shall bum herself alive on account of the death of her husband.
Any person who causes such a woman to be burnt alive, or for that
purpose render an advice or help, be he a relation of the woman who
has burnt herself or not, shall be liable to the penalty of loss of his entire estate, one half to the person who denounces him and the other for the works of the home of Apostle St. Thomas, and im¬ prisonment for life.[28]
There were forced conversions. Really? The Newly converts were forcefully converted and were returning to their old religion out of love for it…really?? Hindus were persecuted and temples were broken down. How true is it and Was it a regular event?
This is a big question. In fact these are many questions. I formally thought of addressing it one by one but these are interconnected and I may repeat things again and again that’s why I thought of integrating them together. And once again I would like to remind that we need to move from interpreting history to interpreting history in its context and circumstances. We cannot interpret histories according to the mindset and concepts of today. Just some decades ago, some tribes of the African deserts were cannibals, they have recently stopped their taste for human meat. Can you still judge them?
III.3.1. NO FORCED CONVERSIONS AS REGULAR PATTERN
Well, it is true that Afonso Albuquerque used a very easy technique to get the people to be Christians. However, we should know that it was the part of agreement with the local Hindus and the Portuguese under Albuquerque when they sought his help to fight the Muslims. If they were not happy with it shouldn’t they have rather died for their religion instead of converting to new one? Bragging about the situation makes no sense. Therefore, what people like Shefali try to show a picture is that they were forced. Not at all, they had a choice and an agreement. If you ask me whether there forced conversions in times of St. Francis Xavier or if he forcefully converted anyone the I would give a certainly NO.
Let me first begin by saying that in the year 1567 the Portuguese King had come out with the edict that no one should be forced to convert or there would be severe punishment.
“ In the first place it is hereby laid down that it is not lawful
to bring to our faith and baptism any person by force with threats
and terror, because no one comes to Christ by faith unless brought
by the Celestial father with voluntary love and prevenient grace.
Just as a person if by his free will he succumbs to the temptations
of the Devil, perishes, so also if he responds to the call and grace
of God he saves himself. The unbelievers should be brought to
the true faith by the example of our lives, preaching of the
truth of our law and the confutation of their errors so that by
recognition of these things, they will give up their lies, and be
received in Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life. Those
who wish to bring the unbelievers to the true faith must also seek
to cultivate gentleness and goodness in order that they may win
persons to Christ, not merely by their preachings but also by kindness, courtesy and service .”[29]
We should evaluate this edict. It was not merely any other order with a selfish motive behind the mind of the King to protect trade but a deep theological discourse. First of all he quotes the Scriptures to draw his conclusion.
no one comes to Christ by faith unless brought
by the Celestial father with voluntary love and prevenient grace.
@@ramdevchouhan2081 well I accept some facts like xavier wasn't involved in inquaisation.He was dead before that and that inquisition was just meant for catholics and not hindus but there are sources which talk about temples being destroyed and hindus being killed and hindusim trying to be killed okay,if those sources are false I am ready to belive you

This is an illuminating and informative video about the history of Goa. I greatly appreciate the effort you've put in to do it. As an Indian I myself was not aware of the atrocities that was perpetrated on Indian soil by the erstwhile Portuguese monarchy. Good thing that Goa was annexed by the Indian Armed Forces in 1961.
As a Portuguese person, this is why I hate the influence of the church in my country's history. When you start studying the age of discovery, you can see that at first, the Portuguese would just have trading posts, would mingle, marry, have kids and learn with the locals. The primary objective was trading good. When the Vatican started having a saying in the Portuguese court, everything turned very bad, very fast. I can trace my family name to the first wave of "new" Christians but records before that were lost,so, I don't know if it was actually a Jewish names or a name my family adopted when they were forcefully converted.
If you're from Portugal you're guaranteed to have some Muslim and or Jewish ancestry. Especially the more you go south.

The inquisition happened mostly in the coastal region (old conquest) of Goa. The central(hilly) and eastern(western ghat) region came under Portuguese rule only in the late eighteenth century. That too the vassals of marathas and later the wadiyars signed a treaty to protect the temples in the 'new conquest'.

And also because the Inquisition was ended in 1812 by the Court of Rio Janeiro and under the British pressures.

The inquisition was not just a religiously motivated process but alsoa colonial process. During they inquisition they banned the usage of Konkani (the native langauge), both speaking and writing were banned and all books were burned, the practice of local customs and traditions were also banned.

Sorry guys! We were in a kind of rampage back then. I bet it was all that spice. This empire thing was new but we’ve become more friendly with the passing of the centuries
We hope so... 😀😀
Too late for sorry now 😂 Indians run economies in most European and North American places, I guess it's the karma.
I hope Indians can be friendly and not as cruel as others were to them haha.
@Amey Tiwari please don't use Hindi here Goa is non-hindi speaking state everyone might not understand u
@@snaik9141 I don't think Goans don't understand Hindi tho🤔
The Portuguese Inquisition in Ceylon was conducted by the very same Portuguese Inquisitors who had arrived in Ceylon to spread their religion via peaceful means failing which by brutal use of the sword.
Vasco Da Gama the first European to find sea route from Europe to India, first came to Calicut, Kerala. He wanted black pepper. He went back to Lisbon and came back to Calicut captured and destroyed a ship which was returning from Mecca after holy visit, attacked Calicut coast and went to Cochin. Then spread the Portuguese colony from Cochin to Goa.
There was a reason why Vasco da Gama bombarded Calicut... but man... this happened 500 hundreds ago.
@@pauvermelho what is the reason
@@sreehari3127 Because he could.
@@jorge6207 just because I can colonize and oppress a people doesn't mean I should, you bloody colonial sympathizers.
@@mihirojha4475 I sympatize with colonialism today as much as I do with contemporary politically-motivated revisionism. Equally asinine and pointless, and only works with imbeciles incapable of critical thinking.
You can still see the converted Catholics who escaped Goa and settled in the coastal belt of Karnataka speak Konkani unlike other Catholics in Karnataka and most of them have the Portuguese sur names (some still have hindu sur names like Prabhu, Kamath) And the Hindus who didn't want to be converted to Christianity and escaped Goa speak Konkani as well.
Most Kamaths and prabhus are still Hindus. Very few of them are catholic.
Yet some Goan's like to be called portuguese whilst still holding an Indian passport and living in India - Stockholm syndrome anyone?
Nope most of us call ourselves Goenkar meaning from Goa or Goen (n is almost silent)
Only some call themselve Portuguese
i mean the reason is simple when you have been a part of a another country for half a century and finally get acknowledged In 1757,by King Joseph I of Portugal as a citizen of the country and then get annexed by India and are considered Indian union territory till 1987 when statehood is given. I mean you can't blame some of us (btw im goan😋). Its only been around 30 years since statehood.
@@craiglobo2165 i feel SRRY for ur ancestors bro ...after all wat they went through for almost 3 centuries !!
I'm from Goa, but I cant really say anything to that, because my Dad is from Portugal and mom has portuguese ancestors, so I consider my self half Indian half Portuguese
@@shttykr do not feel sorry...Most of them had a good live!
Great video sir as an indian living in Maharashtra I never knew about this inquisition that took place in Goa. The Portuguese had other colonies in Gujrat Daman and Diu did the native people suffer such attrocities there too ?
do u know th attrocites done by ur ancestors?
@@nikkeipvck8529 He is converted fellow
There was a famous Portuguese colony in Bandel, West Bengal, India. While Goa was on the Arabian sea beach, this colony was on the banks of river Ganga and acted as a trading post on the bay of bengal route. This colony has a rich history too. You can make a video on it.
Yep! Thanks for mentioning it - there was certainly more to Portuguese India than just Goa
I'm from Goa very thankful to the Portuguese for converting my ancestors to christian and bringing us to light from darkness
Light of what? Adam was spawned?
@@vedicarya7 Do u still believe in an elephant headed God with body of a man ?
Peak indoctrination.
@@ex_egyptI believe in Jesus who was the son of a virgin woman, walked on water, was later nailed on the cross and will resurrect the dead from the 🪦
@@ex_egyptDo you believe in human-like "God"?
Many people in Portugal are also unaware of these facts, thanks for sharing this! Could you share your sources in the future too?
