For the early Portuguese missionaries, cultural adaptation was not a priority and quite often was not desirable. Converts adopted Western clothes, surnames, and other cultural habits. But as Catholic congregations were established in regions farther removed from Goa, priests could not overcome natural tendencies of converts to observe local traditions. The Jesuits appear to have made a virtue out of a natural tendency toward cultural accommodation. Such accommodation is a distinctive feature of Indian Catholicism, but it is not the only development that needs to be accounted for. Against this heritage of accommodation, it is just as important to recognise and, if possible, explain the emergence of a distinctive Catholic identity.

  • PROFILE of ANANTAPUR DISTRICT the Effective Functioning of Any Institution Largely Depends on The
    PROFILE OF ANANTAPUR DISTRICT The effective functioning of any institution largely depends on the socio-economic environment in which it is functioning. It is especially true in case of institutions which are functioning for the development of rural areas. Hence, an attempt is made here to present a socio­ economic profile of Anantapur district, which happens to be one of the areas of operation of DRDA under study. Profile of Anantapur District Anantapur offers some vivid glimpses of the pre-historic past. It is generally held that the place got its name from 'Anantasagaram', a big tank, which means ‘Endless Ocean’. The villages of Anantasagaram and Bukkarayasamudram were constructed by Chilkkavodeya, the Minister of Bukka-I, a Vijayanagar ruler. Some authorities assert that Anantasagaram was named after Bukka's queen, while some contend that it must have been known after Anantarasa Chikkavodeya himself, as Bukka had no queen by that name. Anantapur is familiarly known as ‘Hande Anantapuram’. 'Hande' means chief of the Vijayanagar period. Anantapur and a few other places were gifted by the Vijayanagar rulers to Hanumappa Naidu of the Hande family. The place subsequently came under the Qutub Shahis, Mughals, and the Nawabs of Kadapa, although the Hande chiefs continued to rule as their subordinates. It was occupied by the Palegar of Bellary during the time of Ramappa but was eventually won back by 136 his son, Siddappa. Morari Rao Ghorpade attacked Anantapur in 1757. Though the army resisted for some time, Siddappa ultimately bought off the enemy for Rs.50, 000. Anantapur then came into the possession of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.

  • The Life and Times of Captain William Flack
    The Life and Times of Captain William Flack The story of a remarkable man who survived and prospered despite the momentous odds he and his wife Lucy faced in their lives. The Life and Times of William Flack (1810-1892) How can we begin to understand the lives of our ancestors without knowing something of the social and economic conditions in which they lived? In the following story (with family history records included), I hope to visit the life and times of my Great Great Grandfather, William Flack so as to gain some insight into his life in the context of the social conditions and historical events of his times. This essay tours the social and political environment in which he lived in the County Cavan community in the early 1800s and then describes the events that impacted on his 21 years in the British Army and his “retirement” years in Burnley, Lancashire. The sources are noted where appropriate and a Bibliography is included at the end. William Flack came from Bailieborough, County Cavan, Ulster William Flack was born on 1 April 1810 in or near the town of Bailieborough in Cavan, then a part of Ulster which had been under British rule since the 17th Century and governed through an Irish Parliament based in Dublin. In 1800, the Act of Union abolished the Irish Parliament and allowed for the election of 100 Irish members to the Westminster Parliament. Before the Plantation of Ulster, the area that became Bailieborough was known as Killechally, Killycolly and Killycollie (Irish: Coill an Chollaigh, meaning "forest of boar").
