Portuguese rule A. Christian missionaries followed Vasco-da-Gama to Bharat and brought about conversions through terror, force and conspiracy : ‘Portuguese set foot in Bharat in the year 1498 under the leadership of Vasco-da-Gama. With this began the political journey of imperialistic views of the Christians. The Christian missionaries immediately followed Vasco-da-Gama. Thereafter, the main objective of the Portuguese was to spread Christianity rather than expansion of their empire through trade. It is at this juncture that conversions began. Christian missionaries would throw bread into the wells behind the houses of Hindus at night, and when Hindus drank that water the next morning, these missionaries would proclaim ‘You have now become Christians’. The frightened Hindus would then realise that they had been deceived, and would adopt conducts of Christianity. In 1542, the Portuguese King John II sent a missionary, Saint Xavier, to Goa to convert Hindus. After his arrival in Goa to convert Hindus to Christianity, he resorted to brutal atrocities. B. Saint Xavier’s modus operandi for conversions : When describing his method of conversion, Saint Xavier writes, ‘Within a month I managed to convert over 10,000 men, women and children in the kingdom of Travancore and changed their names to Portuguese names. After baptising these new Christians, I would order them to desecrate their Deities and altars at home. In this way, travelling from one village to another I converted people to Christianity.’ - Mr. Virag Shrikrushna Pachapor This anti-Hindu Xavier has assumed the position of a Saint. It is very unfortunate that in Goa some Hindus who have no pride in their Dharma stand in queues to pay homage to the corpse, which performed countless atrocities on their ancestors. In fact, some think it is an honour to be educated from schools and colleges named after him. C. A classic example of the atrocities committed by the Portuguese on Hindus in a bid to convert them : ‘In 1560, under Pope’s orders, the Portuguese army arrived in Goa to spread Christianity. This army committed brutal atrocities on Hindus and killed thousands of Hindus who refused to convert to Christianity. A classic example of their atrocities was making Hindus stand in a queue and breaking their teeth with a hammer.’ - Weekly ‘Sanskruti Jagruti’ (4th to 11th July 2004) D. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj thwarted the conspiracy to proselytize the Bardez Taluka in Goa : After taking the Bardez Taluka from Adil Shah, the Portuguese indulged in forceful conversions of the Hindus. The 3,000 Hindus who refused to convert were threatened by the Portuguese Viceroy in Goa that if they did not get converted within two months, they would be compelled to leave the place. When Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj learnt about this, two days before the completion of the two month period, on 20th November 1667, he attacked Bardez and replied to this order with his sword. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj captured many Portuguese and asked four Catholic priests (who were conducting the conversions) to embrace Hindu Dharma.

Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s blow to the Portuguese Catholic priests who were converting Hindus to Christianity by deception : ‘The battle waged by Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj against the Portuguese in Goa was political as well as religious.
