This paper argues that nationalist ideology influenced the writings of
Goan elites who joined their Indian counterparts. The latter glorified
the pre-modern history, literature, art, and architecture of India as
a response to the colonial assertions of its superiority. In the case
of Goa, the colonial authorities propounded the concept of Goa
Dourada, or golden Goa under Portuguese rule. The local elites
countered this concept through ‘Goa Indica’, thus exhibiting the
relationship of colonial Goa with colonial India. In the process, the
scholars such as Menezes Braganza, Panduranga Pissurlencar, and
Adeatado Baretto discussed the contribution of ancient Indians to the
field of science and technology. The glorification of ancient Indian
science and technology contributed to the rise of ‘pseudo-science’,
which is considered a byproduct of the anti-colonial movement.
However, the rise of ‘pseudo-science’ was an unavoidable development,
particularly in the colonial period. The Goan historians, while
reconstructing the history of science, followed their counterparts in
British India to show that Goa was a part of India. Scholars were able
to achieve national unity in the pre and post-colonial periods by
studying science and technology.
