I am leaving Goa. I like my Goa this is so beautiful

गोवा को आजाद कराने में हमारे उज्जैन के राजा भाऊ महांकाल का योगदान को भुलाया नहीं जा सकता, उन्होंने गोवा में पुर्तगालीयो को खदेड़ते हुए, अपने सिर में गोली खाई, और 20 घंटे में जंग में डटे रहे और अंत में शहीद हुए

The Portuguese inquisition of Goa is an often forgotten and unspoken event by the ‘secular’ circles of Indian historians, despite various historical records exposing the gross exodus of not just Hindus, but also Jews that had escaped Medieval Europe to take refuge in India. The Portuguese inquisition of Goa started when Vasco Da Gama returned to Portugal after he discovered the route to India via Africa’s Cape of Good Hope. Upon his return to Portugal in 1510, Gama told the Portuguese royals about the undiscovered route to India, which gave the Portuguese an opportunity to colonise the Western coast of India and particularly Goa. Pope Nicholas V soon issued a diktat which gave the kingdom of Portugal a monopoly on forcing Christianity upon the locals of the newly discovered areas (and mainly India), along with the monopoly to trade on behalf of the Roman Catholic Empire in Asia. Soon after, the Portuguese sent its troops to capture a portion of Goa and set up a colony in the coastal city. Aghast by the local traditions followed by Hindus, the Portuguese were angered by the locals following a religion other than Christianity and ordered all temples within the colony to be shut; this marked the beginning of the bloody Goan inquisition that comprised of gross human right violations and mass executions of the local Hindu, Jew and Muslim populations. In 1541, idol worship was forbidden in the Portuguese colony of Goa and over 350 temples were destroyed by the Portuguese soldiers. It had been officially declared that being a believer of any religion other than Roman Catholicism was forbidden for residents of Goa. The infamous Francis Xaviers and Martin Alfonso were sent to Goa by King John III of Portugal in 1542 to initiate the process of converting Goan residents to Roman Catholicism. On their arrival in Goa, they were enraged by the New Christians of Goa secretly practising their previous religions (either Judaism, Hinduism or Islam), while also upholding their Hindu values and traditions. A disturbed Francis Xavier wrote to King John III of Portugal on 16th May 1546 to impose inquisition on Goa in an attempt to ‘discipline’ the residents and make them follow Catholicism. The inquisition banned apostasy of Roman Catholics to Hinduism, Judaism or Islam, and banned the sale of books in the Konkani, Marathi, Sanskrit and Arabic languages. The use of Konkani was forbidden in the colony of Goa. The Inquisition particularly affected the New Christians of Europe from the Jewish community, who had fled to India during the Spanish Inquisition in an attempt to escape the imposition of Christianity and live amongst the Jewish community in India. They had come in search of a life of dignity where they could practise Judaism openly and not in hiding while pretending to be Christian. India was the only country in the world where Jews were given absolute freedom to practise their faith, especially under Hindu kingdoms. Upon the imposition of the inquisition in Goa, life became comparable to hell for the local Hindu population, who were often on the receiving end of persecution and were targeted in particular by the sadistic Christian missionaries. The Christian missionaries called the Hindus ‘uncultured’ and ‘savages’, who worshipped black idols ‘resembling demons’; the Christians took it upon themselves to force Hindus into leaving their religion and succumbing to Christianity. An inquisition office was thereby set up which aimed to discriminate against Hindus on all matters possible. Hindus were forbidden from holding any public office, inheriting their father’s property and testify as witnesses in courts. If a Hindu child was deemed to be an orphan by the colonialists, the child was ‘seized’ by the Society of Jesus (founded by the not-so-saintly Francis Xavier) and made to change his religion. Clear discrimination was seen in social life, where Hindus were forced to sign public documents only after Christians and couldn’t be clerks in village offices. In 1567, a law banning Christians from employing Hindus in the colony was introduced. (Ref: Teotonio R. De Souza, The Portuguese in Goa, pg 28-29). The inquisition office even questioned natives who were suspected of following their previous religions in private. Over a span of 214 years (1560-1774), 16,172 natives were questioned and often tortured for following a religion other than Roman Catholicism. To be questioned by the inquisition office, a mere rumour of practising idol worship in private or chanting a Hebrew prayer would suffice for the missionaries to drag the native to the office. Those convicted of following another religion were subjected to heinous punishments, including public flogging, being ‘put on the rack’, burnt on stakes and having one’s nails and eyes crushed by bloodthirsty missionaries. In some cases, entire villages were burnt with the women and children taken as slaves. Large wheels were used for torture, with those convicted of following Hinduism or Judaism being tied to the wheel and then spun, with almost every bone of the innocent Hindu or Jew being crushed. Hindu children were sometimes taken away from their parents and burnt in front of them, with the parent being tied and forced to witness his child being burnt alive until he accepts to convert to Christianity. Over 4,000 non-Christians were inflicted with such punishments during the course of the inquisition. In inspiration of the Muslim invaders, the missionaries imposed the Xenddi tax on the Hindu population, similar to the Jaziya tax. (Ref: Sarasvati’s Children: A History of the Mangalorean Christians, Alan Machado Prabhu, I.J.A. Publications, 1999, pg. 121) Amidst the Portuguese inquisition, a small group of Saraswat Brahmins managed to hide from the invading Portuguese colonialists and smuggled the famous Mangeshi shiv linga of Lord Shiva out of its original site in the Kushasthali Cortalim village and built the renown Mangeshi temple in Goa’s Priol village which belonged to the Hindu Kingdom of Sonde. The Portuguese ravaged homes destroyed the local culture and imposed a foreign religion on the local population. Hindus were deliberately targeted by the European invaders in an attempt to convert them to Christianity. Despite the barbarism used by the Europeans, Hinduism survived the attempts to erase it from Indian culture and continued to flourish after Goa was liberated by the Indian government in 1961. The Goan Inquisition is a disturbing reminder to Goan Hindus about their history and signifies the struggles undertaken by our ancestors to preserve our cultural identity.

Why can't BBC make a report on the "British Rule of India".

Satyagraha ke chakkar me pdte to aaj GOA bhi bharat ke liye ak bhut badi samshya hota... Well done nehru and team...

All Portuguese dint go to Portugal..even today Portuguese are living in Goa and they have their properties. Goa government dint take control of those properties...these descendents of Portuguese are physically living in Goa but their hearts are in Portugal..and they are dominating in goan politics..surnames of these Portuguese descendents clearly shows Portuguese link..

Sir Mohan Ranade should not be forgotten.

Purtugis ki Maratha sai fathi thi.

Kuch bhi ho ..angrezo aur purtgaliyon ne milkr hindu muslim logo se politics kheli ....aaj bhi insaan bs hindu muslim me uljha hua hai....aur baaki desh tezi se progress kr rhe

Beautiful Documentary.Thanks bbc.

Portugal ne Goa mai Aur Britishers ne Baki India mai kafi torcher kiya yaha tak Portugal Goa ko India ka part bhi nahi manta tha

Great. Lohia ji had done so much. Unknown fact largely.

Moral of the story freedom cannot be gained with just SATYAGRAH.

We feel proud to our chatrapati shivaji maharaj and chatrapati sambhaji maharaj that they fight success fully to Portuguese and prevent Maharashtra and kokan area

Good story

Nice video informative😍😊

Nehru was such a damn fool

Why no media speak about genocide of konkani people in Goa ..... My ancestors left there land ,kuldevatha because of this portugese rakshas

Hahaha ... India got freedom due to Gandhi and satyagrah, this joke was conceptualized and well exicuted by British Raj to save their image in global arena and avoid defeat at hands of brown Indians which would have crushed their white suprimacy ego. Post world war 1&2 England was not in position to manage huge and diverse country with growing discontent, aggression, Marxism and formation of Azad hind Sena by former britis-india army men left them no choice but to leave india and save their image.

I've been to Goa for few months with Goans......and what I observed there is "the people of Goa r still attracted to Portuguese and they don't care much about India and Indians"

Have u gone crazy. U told that 14 yrs after indian independence goa movement started and Mahatma Gandha was no more by then to criticize gaon empire.. matlab kuch bhi..

I love my india

देश की आजादी के महान नायको का इतिहास में पीछे छोड़ दिया,,,,,, एक देश का चाचा बन गया और एक देश का बाप,,,,, और देश की आजादी चरखा चला करके शांति से आई है पढ़ाया गया

What about British Occupied Ireland? Are the Brits planning on vacating that as well?

Now it's proven that we did not get freedom because of Gandhi. We got because of Bose

Goa India k Dil hai

I don't know why people forget Dadra and Nagar Haveli

First and last colonizer to leave India

I wonder Modi might have played a role in Goa independence movement like he played in Bangladesh independence, going to Jail, satyagrah. Will come to know once he address Goa public. I'm sure he might have contributed something.

Gandhi was a saint who lived on his principles. Some people are spreading lies about Gandhi for political reasons. What he said for British ruled part of India that he also said for other part of India too while what Nehru said was seemed to be easier and more effective at that time.

To all the viewers Dr T B cunha was the first Goan catholic to voice against the Portuguese colonial rule. He is called ‘father of Goan nationalism’ but some North Indian from BJP IT cell don’t know about Goan freedom trying to demonize Goan catholics.

Appreciate Gandhi, Nehru and Lohiya....

Goa was ruled by portugal then and now ruled by india..

I had been to goa and I like the Portugal heritage of goa...indeed goa is a mini portugal in India..thanks to the Portuguese people that today we got such a beautiful tourist spot....

Thanks for information

Did people form Karnatka, have no role in Freedom of Goa? if No, why Union Govt of India and Govt of Karnataka paying pension to people (freedom Fighters) of Karnataka for freedom fight of Goa?

बीबीसी की पत्रकारिता की तुच्छता का स्तर देखिए गोवा की आजादी में एक बड़ी भूमिका आरएसएस ने निभाई थी पर ये पछपती एजेंसी है जो इस बात को शामिल नहीं करेगी

Nehru was disaster...

Actually there was no war. Indian army freely captured Portuguese controlled goa. There was no recorded violence through out the state. Operation Vijay was completed without any violence.

This comment gonna be much imaginative if we go past when portuguese rule was there. The development and maintainance of goa was very good and portuguese were not troubling goans as british. If goa were not independent from portuguese rule the development gonna be next level. And as Portuguese were not cutting trees and they brought cashew plants,and types of plants and That'swhy our natural beauty was counted in the world. If that were happend goa were now counted as developed country. Past is past that can't be change. But now on wards curruption major problems in state. Government are not ruling he is earning .if we see places in foreign and goa/india difference is no development managenent and today also no proper development management road are like ponds and many problems we were facing I think if proper management, better state government ,no corruption ,better technological education is provide then goa can be developed state after 30 years.

Informative video

Thanks

हम गुलाम नहीं थे परतंत्र थे! क्योंकि गुलाम अपने पैरों पर खड़े नहीं होते अपना धर्म अपनी सभ्यता सब भूल जाते हैं! हम आज भी खड़े हैं हमारा सनातन धर्म आज भी खड़ा है। मार मार के खदेड़ा था पुर्तगालियों को। हेडिंग ये होनी चाहिए।।

Dear BBC also expose the atrocities committed by British rulers in India in their 200 year rule. I doubt u have balls to do it.

All hindu names in the struggle. What about British rule in India.

Lohia the maker of samajwad and samtawaad.
