Santosh seems to have hit the nail right on the head. The
rambling essay is too shallow to merit the attention of scholars. Despite its
sensational revelation, it has been rightly ignored by the press in Goa;
however, a Konkani (Roman script) weekly has published a gist which is worse

The problem I have with some of this so-called research about Goan history,
whether it is church-related or otherwise, is that it is merely the expression
of somebody's subjective opinion pulled out of thin air and dripping with

purely political in order to counteract against the Hindu zealots or it is some
new form of religious or colonial apologism concocted by the latest breed of
