The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada's Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities
Brown Baby Jesus: The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada’s Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities Kathryn Carrière Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD degree in Religion and Classics Religion and Classics Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Kathryn Carrière, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 I dedicate this thesis to my husband Reg and our son Gabriel who, of all souls on this Earth, are most dear to me. And, thank you to my Mum and Dad, for teaching me that faith and love come first and foremost. Abstract Employing the concepts of lifeworld (Lebenswelt) and system as primarily discussed by Edmund Husserl and Jürgen Habermas, this dissertation argues that the lifeworlds of Anglo- Indian and Goan Catholics in the Greater Toronto Area have permitted members of these communities to relatively easily understand, interact with and manoeuvre through Canada’s democratic, individualistic and market-driven system. Suggesting that the Catholic faith serves as a multi-dimensional primary lens for Canadian Goan and Anglo-Indians, this sociological ethnography explores how religion has and continues affect their identity as diasporic post- colonial communities. Modifying key elements of traditional Indian culture to reflect their Catholic beliefs, these migrants consider their faith to be the very backdrop upon which their life experiences render meaningful. Through systematic qualitative case studies, I uncover how these individuals have successfully maintained a sense of security and ethnic pride amidst the myriad cultures and religions found in Canada’s multicultural society. Oscillating between the fuzzy boundaries of the Indian traditional and North American liberal worlds, Anglo-Indians and Goans attribute their achievements to their open-minded Westernized upbringing, their traditional Indian roots and their Catholic-centred principles effectively making them, in their opinions, admirable models of accommodation to Canada’s system. -

S hyam B hat From the arrival of the Portuguese to the end of the 18Ih century, the economic history of Portuguese Goa is well examined by historians. But not many works are available on the economic history of Goa during the 19lh and 20lh centuries, which witnessed considerable decline in the Portuguese trade in India. This, being a desideratum, it is not surprising to note that a study of the visible trade links between Portuguese Goa and the coastal regions of Karnataka1 is not given serious attention by historians so far. Therefore, this is an attempt to analyse the trade connections between Portuguese Goa and colonial Kanara in the 19lh century.2 The present exposition is mainly based on the administrative records of the English East India Company government such as Proceedings of the Madras Board of Revenue, Proceedings of the Madras Sea Customs Department, Madras Commercial Consultations, and official letters of the Collectors of Kanara. -

BRITISH RECORDS AS CORROBORATORY SOURCES IN WRITING THE HISTORY OF GOA. By Dr. N. Shyam Bhat Introduction : Sources or historical facts collated from varieties of literature, inscriptions, monuments, coins, oral source, etc. play a crucial role in history writing. In fact the statement ‘No Fact No History’, beautifully sums up the importance of sources in historical research. The topic of study or research determines the sources to be consulted. There is no doubt that a scholar researching on Indo- Portuguese history should primarily consult the Portuguese and other foreign and indigenous sources. However, as Portuguese Goa had interactions with the rest of India, and particularly the contiguous territories which today form parts of Karnataka and Maharashtra, it is essential to tap the sources of history available outside Goa for the reconstruction o f Goan history. The Portuguese in Goa had political, economic and socio-cultural relations with their neighbours in India. This part of their history can be written better by studying the sources available in the repositories outside Goa also. There are several records in the Tamil Nadu State Archives and Maharashtra State Archives which provide information on Goa and its linkages with the neighbours. The present article is based on such original records preserved in the Tamil Nadu State Archives and this illustrates and provides an example to emphasise their importance as corroboratory sources in 76 writing Goa’s history during the 19 t h century. -

DEFINING GOAN IDENTITY: A LITERARY APPROACH by DONNA J. YOUNG Under the Direction of David McCreery ABSTRACT This is an analysis of Goan identity issues in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries using unconventional sources such as novels, short stories, plays, pamphlets, periodical articles, and internet newspapers. The importance of using literature in this analysis is to present how Goans perceive themselves rather than how the government, the tourist industry, or tourists perceive them. Also included is a discussion of post-colonial issues and how they define Goan identity. Chapters include “Goan Identity: A Concept in Transition,” “Goan Identity: Defined by Language,” and “Goan Identity: The Ancestral Home and Expatriates.” The conclusion is that by making Konkani the official state language, Goans have developed a dual Goan/Indian identity. In addition, as the Goan Diaspora becomes more widespread, Goans continue to define themselves with the concept of building or returning to the ancestral home.

A. BAYLY Smuts Reader in Commonwealth Studies, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of St Catharine's College and JOHN F. RICHARDS Professor of History, Duke University Although the original Cambridge History of India, published between 1922 and 1937, did much to formulate a chronology for Indian history and de- scribe the administrative structures of government in India, it has inevitably been overtaken by the mass of new research published over the last fifty years. Designed to take full account of recent scholarship and changing concep- tions of South Asia's historical development, The New Cambridge History of India will be published as a series of short, self-contained volumes, each dealing with a separate theme and written by a single person. Within an overall four-part structure, thirty complementary volumes in uniform format will be published during the next five years. As before, each will conclude with a substantial bibliographical essay designed to lead non-specialists further into the literature. The four parts planned are as follows: I The Mughals and their Contemporaries. II Indian States and the Transition to Colonialism. Ill The Indian Empire and the Beginnings of Modern Society. IV The Evolution of Contemporary South Asia. A list of individual titles in preparation will be found at the end of the volume.

A Goan Reading of the Cultural Impact of the Colonial Act: Introducing Intellectuals and Periodic Press Through the Anglo-Lusitano of July 7, 1934

Our goal is to demonstrate the importance of this political measure through the journalistic production of the Goan intellectuality, that is, the political culture that arose from the clash between the defenders of the regime and those who advocated solutions of freedom and democracy in autonomy or independence. After a comprehensive Goan press survey, the choice of a special issue of O Anglo-Lusitano to present as historical foundation in this study was due to the fact that owing to its broad spectrum of cultural and political participation, it served as medium for ascertaining the existence of a crossroad of visions of the imperial whole, in the construction of intellectual networks of opposition and resistance, both from Goa and exile, enunciating the end of the Portuguese empire. https://doi.org/10.14195/2183-8925_38_6 Revista de História das Ideias Keywords: Resistance; Colonial Periodical Press; Democracy; Portuguese Colonial Empire; Goan Intellectuals.

Gilliland, Chair Portuguese colonial periodicals of 19th century India represent a rich source of information that might be used by scholars in comparative literature, history, post-colonial studies, and other humanities and social sciences-related disciplines. These periodicals are markers of modalities of colonial dominance and the ensuing hybridities that led to formation of the complex Indo-Portuguese identity (-ies) in the 19th century Indian sub-continent. Although the majority of these collections remain in India and Portugal, these periodicals also form a part of extensive South Asia collections held in academic libraries in the United States. These periodicals have often been overlooked as a source of information on the colonial milieu of 19th century India because access to them has been problematic for several reasons. -
Goa Displayed in Goa: the 1860 Industrial Exhibition of Portuguese Colonial India
Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais, 115, maio 2018: 159-182 FILIPA LOWNDES VICENTE Goa Displayed in Goa: The 1860 Industrial Exhibition of Portuguese Colonial India In 1860, Goa hosted the Industrial Exhibition of Portuguese India with 230 exhibitors and over 4,000 articles on display, all described in a comprehensive printed catalogue. How can we explain that Goa, considered the most neglected Portuguese colony by the late 19th century, had an “industrial exhibition” five years before the first international exhibition to take place in Portugal, in 1865, and twenty years before the first exhibition held in a Portuguese colony, that of Cape Verde, in 1881? This article tries to understand the meaning of a local initiative that led to the display of Goa’s entangled past, present, and future – a space which was ‘displayed’ across time and described by many as a “country”, with its own identity, and separate from the “other” India. Keywords: exhibitions; Goa; Goa history; Industrial Exhibition of Portuguese India (1860); modernity. Introduction In 1860, Goa was the setting for an exhibition that had the word “Industry” in its title – the Exposição Industrial da Índia Portuguesa [Industrial Exhibition of Portuguese India]. In this exhibition there were 230 exhibitors and almost 4,000 articles on display, all described in a comprehensive printed catalogue.1 How can we explain how Goa, considered throughout the second half of the 19th century to be the most neglected Portuguese colony, had an “industrial exhibition” five years before the first international exhibition that took place in Portugal in 1865 and twenty years before the first exhibition to be held in a Portuguese colony, that of Cape Verde, in 1881? The pieces of machinery or the manufactured goods, symbols of the industrialisation that the exhibition was supposed to showcase, were barely visible and proved unable to counter 1 Relatório e catálogo da Exposição Industrial da Índia Portuguesa no anno de 1860 (1860). -
Reducing Difference in the Portuguese Empire? 243
Reducing 11. difference in the Portuguese empire? A case study from early-modern Goa Ângela Barreto Xavier 242 ambiguous inclusions: inside out, outside in In 1951, the Brazilian sociologist Gilberto Freyre made a short visit to Goa. This was part of a trip during which Freyre travelled through the Portuguese colonies in Africa and Asia to observe the results of the miscegenation process that, in his view, characterised Portuguese colonialism (Castelo 1998; Souza 2008; Bastos 2003; Cardão and Castelo 2015; Bastos 2015). During that visit, Freyre considered that Goan society was one of the best expressions of Luso- tropicalism, of that benign Portuguese colonialism that adapted physically and culturally to tropical contexts, creating mixed societies (Freyre 1953). Ironically, five years later, the Portuguese geographer Orlando Ribeiro, who, among other Portuguese intellectuals, espoused Luso-tropicalist theories, had a different impression of the same territories and society, warning Salazar about the near absence of Lusophile feelings, and that the Portuguese presence in Goa was in danger (Ribeiro 1999). How can these different narratives be explained? Was Freyre mistaken? Or was Ribeiro too apocalyptic (which he was not, since in 1961, Goa was annexed by the Indian government)? To understand the diverse perceptions that Freyre and Ribeiro had, in the same decade, of the same territories and society, it is necessary to go back in history. Freyre and Ribeiro were seeing parts of the end of a process that had started four centuries before. Probably each of them was struck by different outcomes of that process, which led to their contradictory perceptions. In his short visit, Freyre was apparently unaware of the resistance to the Portuguese presence felt by many Goans (Catholic or Hindu, but usually of Indian descent) in those very same years. -
