Dear Goanetters
Only the first para is mine, the rest is added by whoever is
interested in a different communal agenda! I consider it as a
cyber-crime. I wrote to the christianaggression website where I saw
this text, but none cared to reply.
I would be glad if Sachin Phadte or his informants could trace the
rest attributed to me in any of my writings, instead of uncritically
forwarding such material. It could also by considered as complicity in
cyber-crime.

A Hindutvavadi sent this to me. I do not know what is the truth in all this.

=============================
Details of the Goa Inquisition
Dr. T. R. de Souza
At least from 1540 onwards, and in the island of Goa before that year,
all the Hindu idols had been annihilated or had disappeared, all the
temples had been destroyed and their sites and building material was
in most cases utilized to erect new Christian Churches and chapels.
Various viceregal and Church council decrees banished the Hindu
priests from the Portuguese territories; the public practices of Hindu
rites including marriage rites, were banned; the state took upon
itself the task of bringing up Hindu orphan children; the Hindus were
denied certain employments, while the Christians were preferred; it
was ensured that the Hindus would not harass those who became
Christians, and on the contrary, the Hindus were obliged to assemble
periodically in Churches to listen to preaching or to the refutation
of their religion."
