Hi Marlon, Thanks for reading the part III of the inquisition in Goa and perhaps the other two parts on this episode of Goa's history. Your post was in response to the plight and suffering of the Manglorean (former Goan) Catholics in North Canara. Your rather long post is a narration about your impressions of Tippu's rule. It does not give details about the Manglorean episode in 1784 in Seringapatam. It may be humorous to you but it is insanity to me to wipe out an entire population because allegedly "few leaders switched sides". And we are constantly attacking the Catholics for the Goan inquisition. Frankly you have made my point.:=)) Compared to Tippu- a. k.a. the tiger of Mysore, the Portuguese were pussy cats. :=))
So if you would like me to respond to your post, please confine your remarks to the Manglorean Catholic episode of around 1784. I'm not fascinated in a dissertation on Tippu Sultan's rule from 1782-1799. This is not the thread. You are welcome to specifically state that the Manglorean Holocaust did not happen and give references to the same. Or you can state that it did occur giving your citations and your specific data of the same event. So I would appreciate if this description 'With regards to the alleged "massacre" of the Christians in Mangalore, there is no doubt that he used force quell the Christian community there' were backed by your independent numbers. I look forward to reading your research on the specific Manglorean Catholic Holocaust of 1784. In case you missed it, the topic under discussion still continues to be the historical plight and suffering of Goans. :=)) Regards, Gilbert ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
