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.

I do not know what is the truth in all this. Sachin Phadte ============================= 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." -- http://tinyurl.com/22smnm http://tinyurl.com/2awqhc
