Goa Inquisition Priolkar Goa inquisition priolkar Continue This article is about an academic publication. For details of the actual Goa Inquisition, see Goa Inquisition AuthorAnan Kakba PriolkarCountryIndiaLanguageEnglishSubjectGoa InquisitionUbbai University Press Date1961Pages264ISBN978-0-8364-2753-0 Inquisition Goa, Goa, Goa, Being a kuaterhent of the memorable study of the Inquisition in India is a book published by Bombay University Press and authored by The Indian historian Anant Priolkar. It contains the most comprehensive account of the Goa Inquisition carried out by Portuguese colonizers in Goa, India in the 16th century, and details the massacres of Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Indian Jews and non-Catholic Indian Christians by the Portuguese Inquisitors. The details of the book are divided into two parts. Part I, entitled the Goa Inquisition, is divided into ten chapters. The first two chapters detail the Spanish Inquisition and the Portuguese Inquisition in Europe, providing reference materials and context that will lead to the Inquisition in India. It explains the anti-Semitic hatred developed for the Jewish people of Marranos in Europe by the Inquisitors, which would lead them to the murder of Indian Jews during the Goa Inquisition. Chapter 3 begins with the advent of the Inquisition in India, with a discussion of Dr. Dellon's story about the Inquisition in Chapter 4. The chapters describe the wars that led to the establishment of Portuguese colonial rule in Goa, as well as the massacres of Hindus and Muslims during the war, usually related to mass killings in villages, mass drownings of Muslims in rivers and other similar acts. Successive chapters in Part I describe the forced conversion of Hindus to Christianity by the Inquisition, the evolution of the policy of Christian persecution in India. The book details the organization and procedures of the Inquisition and anti-India laws that were enacted in Goa during the Inquisition, which prohibits Hindu religious practices and customs, as well as the decline of the status of Hindus for second-class citizens, prohibiting them from public meetings and so on. Chapter 9 examines the various methods of torture used by the Inquisition against Hindus, Muslims and Jews, such as sulphur burning, water torture, rape, the use of pulleys to stretch victims and the method of belt torture. Chapter 10 discusses the jurisdiction and authority of the Goa Inquisition. The second part examines Dellon and Buchanan's stories about the Inquisition in two separate chapters. Peer review of the book was very well reviewed by his peers. Gerald M. Moser of the University of Pennsylvania said the book is an authoritative work on an event based on the accounts of European travelers and Portuguese historians. The book was written a year before Goa's liberation from the Portuguese occupation by India, so it renewed old wounds, about the grim record record religious intolerance in India through the most ruthless inquisitions of the Christian world. Priolkar did not exaggerate the intolerant zeal of Christian missionaries or try to understand it.

BARRETO MIRANDA, historian of Goa, speaks about this Holy Office : - the cruelties that in the name of the religion of peace and love this tribunal practiced in Europe, were carried out in even greater excesses in India, where the inquisitors, surrounded by luxury, who could withstand comparison with the regal splendor of the great potentates of Asia, seen with pride by the Archbishop, and viceroy, Each of their words was a death sentence, and at the slightest nod were moved to the horror of the vast population scattered across the Asian regions, whose lives fluctuated in their hands, and which, under the most frivolous pretext, could be clapped for all time in the deepest dungeons or choked or offered as food for the fire.

The Inquisition presented by P This book provides the most comprehensive account of the Goa Inquisition conducted by Portuguese colonizers in Goa, India in the 16th century and details the wholesale massacres of Hindus, Muslims, Jews by Portuguese Inquisitors. I've always wanted a well researched read on the Inquisition. It's depressing to read, in a way. But the truth has a way of being uncomfortable. The Inquisition is one of the darkest chapters of Indian history. There are some illustrations too. The Inquisition imposed by the Portuguese rulers of Goa, India was the worst and scariest chapter that no body can think of, all in the name of Christ, the embodiment of love and compassion. In 1542, St. Francis Xavier, co-founder of the Society of Jesus, came to Goa to receive the message of Christ among Native Indians who followed very different religions. He noted that converts continued to practice their old customs and traditions and did not follow the true Christian faith. Indian Christians, deaf to the cry of European missionaries and subsequent kept joyfully following their traditional Indian customs. Terribly disappointed, The Isle of Francis Xavier took the extreme opportunity for him, and he finally asked the Portuguese government in Portugal to introduce the most terrible Inquisition to Goa, then the citadel of Portuguese power in India. He called on King John III of Portugal to establish an inquisition in Goa also to suppress Judaism because the Jews refused to return to Roman Catholicism. The irony is that the embalmed remains of O. Francis Xavier are today stored in a silver casket in the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa and washed up for public viewing every ten years. Unfortunately, the thousands of people who came here to pray with reverence for his blessings had no idea of him being responsible for the terrible atrocities he had allowed to lose to innocent people in the tens of thousands, including Muslims, Jews and Hindus, many of whom had been tortured to death and whose families had endured unspeakable suffering and pain at the loss of their loved ones. In the earlier chapters of the book there is a story about the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisition in Europe, providing reference materials and context that would lead to the Inquisition in India. The chapters describe the wars that led to the establishment of Portuguese colonial rule in Goa, as well as the massacres of Hindus and Muslims during the war, usually related to mass killings in villages, the mass drowning of Muslims in rivers and other similar acts.

  • Conversion in the Pluralistic Religious Context of India: a Missiological Study
    Conversion in the pluralistic religious context of India: a Missiological study Rev Joel Thattupurakal Mathai BTh, BD, MTh 0000-0001-6197-8748 Thesis submitted for the degree Philosophiae Doctor in Missiology at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University in co-operation with Greenwich School of Theology Promoter: Dr TG Curtis Co-Promoter: Dr JJF Kruger April 2017 Abstract Conversion to Christianity has become a very controversial issue in the current religious and political debate in India. This is due to the foreign image of the church and to its past colonial nexus. In addition, the evangelistic effort of different church traditions based on particular view of conversion, which is the product of its different historical periods shaped by peculiar constellation of events and creeds and therefore not absolute- has become a stumbling block to the church‘s mission as one view of conversion is argued against the another view of conversion in an attempt to show what constitutes real conversion. This results in competitions, cultural obliteration and kaum (closed) mentality of the church. Therefore, the purpose of the dissertation is to show a common biblical understanding of conversion which could serve as a basis for the discourse on the nature of the Indian church and its place in society, as well as the renewal of church life in contemporary India by taking into consideration the missiological challenges (religious pluralism, contextualization, syncretism and cultural challenges) that the church in India is facing in the context of conversion. The dissertation arrives at a theological understanding of conversion in the Indian context and its discussion includes: the multiple religious belonging of Hindu Christians; the dual identity of Hindu Christians; the meaning of baptism and the issue of church membership in Indian context.

PENDSE University of California, Berkeley Abstract: The Portuguese Inquisition in the colonies of the Empire remains understudied due to a lack of primary source materials that are available the researchers and educators. The advances in digital technologies and the current drive to foster Open Access have allowed us to understand better the relations among the complex set of circumstances as well as the mechanisms that, in their totality, represent the Portuguese Inquisition. The present paper seeks to answer questions that vary from describing these resources to identifying the institutions that created them. Digitized resources serve as a surrogate of the originals, and we can leverage the access to these electronic surrogates and enhance our understanding of the mechanisms of inquisition through E-Inquisitional objects in pedagogy and research. Keywords: Empire, Brazil, India, Africa, archives, open access The study of the history of the Portuguese Inquisition and its institutions has acquired importance in the context of early efforts to convert, indoctrinate, organize and “civilize” the large native and indigenous populations over the vast global expanse of the Portuguese Empire. From the beginning, the Portuguese Crown formed an alliance with the Catholic Church to promote proselytization in its early colonial acquisitions in India.

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.

  • Early Modern Goa Indian Trade, Transcultural Medicine, and the Inquisition
    Early modern Goa Indian trade, transcultural medicine, and the Inquisition BINDU MALIECKAL ortugal’s introduction of the Inquisition to India in 1560 placed the lives of Jews, New PChristians, and selected others labelled ‘heretics’, in peril. Two such victims were Garcia da Orta, a Portuguese New Christian with a thriving medical practice in Goa, and Gabriel Dellon, a French merchant and physician. In scholarship, Garcia da Orta and Gabriel Dellon’s texts are often examined separately within the contexts of Portuguese and French literature respectively and in terms of medicine and religion in the early modern period. Despite the similarities of their train- ing and experiences, da Orta and Dellon have not previously been studied jointly, as is attempted in this article, which expands upon da Orta and Dellon’s roles in Portuguese India’s international commerce, especially the trade in spices, and the collaborations between Indian and European physicians. Thus, the connection between religion and food is not limited to food’s religious and religio-cultural roles. Food in terms of spices has been at the foundations of power for ethno- religious groups in India, and when agents became detached from the spice trade, their downfalls were imminent, as seen in the histories of Garcia da Orta and Gabriel Dellon. Early modern Goa through the eyes of Garcia da Orta and Gabriel Dellon In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Indian textiles, wood, gems, and spices were exported to the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Mingling with merchants and doctors from across the Indian Ocean were Europeans who were merchants and doctors themselves.

  • New Christians, Converted Hindus, Jesuits, and the Inquisition
    Journal of Jesuit Studies 8 (2021) 195-213 New Christians, Converted Hindus, Jesuits, and the Inquisition José Eduardo Franco Open University of Portugal, Department of Social Sciences and Management, Lisbon, Portugal [email protected] Célia Tavares State University of Rio de Janeiro, Department of Human Sciences, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [email protected] Abstract This paper analyses the complex relationship between Jesuits, New Christians, converted Hindus, and the Inquisition. The collaboration of Jesuits with the Holy Office did not prevent voices from being raised within the Society of Jesus against the tribunal’s practices, which were observed with caution by the first Jesuit leaders. For their part, conversos were initially welcomed into the Society and even assumed high positions in the Society, such as the second superior general. Despite the difficult history of intolerance and inquisitorial persecution against New Christians, in the seventeenth century, Jesuits in Portugal became prominent advocates of their cause. In turn, Hindu conversion strategies fueled disputes and tensions between the Society of Jesus and the Inquisition of Goa. Their strained relations make these disputes an important historiographical subject for understanding many of the plots and dramas of Portuguese society under the Old Regime.
