Its unwarranted attempt of church thinkers to rewrite history and to provide softest possible cover to atrocities created by churches in the past (immediately after Portuguese landed in Goa) against Hindus in Goa! They might even extend their logic little further and say, 'since there were no Hindus there were on Hindu temples in Goa before Portuguese landed in Goa.' Church thinkers might even go further saying, 'Hindus in Goa are creations of Portuguese after they landed in Goa.' So much so, they might even bring up the new theory saying 'all prevailing temples in Goa are created/built by destroying existing churches in Goa after Portuguese landed in Goa." - What an argument!
Here, I recollect self-acclaimed thinker Radharav, at a public meeting in Gomant Vidya Nikeetan - Margao, saying 'Hindus in Goa willingly got converted to Christianity after Portuguese landed in Goa!' Is this thinking of atypical thinker contradicting church thinkers? Time has come to show such thinking, without even thinking, a dustbin! Present attempt of Church thinkers is nothing but changing the very meaning/definition of History! And if they continue with such nonsensical thinking, people round the globe will call them 'Fanatics' instead of thinkers! And their thinking will be called 'Fanaticism.' Church thinkers must stop unwanted, unwarranted, unfounded zealotry! Lastly, I think, Santosh must express himself as to what according to him is the purpose of such attempt instead of writing, 'I'm not sure whether..' I hope Santosh expresses himself! U. G.
