That Time the Portuguese Brought an Inquisition to India | History of Goa | Portuguese Empire

In the mid-1500sCE, the Portuguese Empire established a Catholic inquisition in their Indian colony of Goa, imposing strict laws and punishments for the "heretical violations" of both native Indians and Portuguese settlers alike.
The Portuguese Inquisition in Goa remains a relatively unknown story, however.
The persecution hell created by the Portuguese not only oppressed the residents of Goa for nearly three hundred years, but also ocost them their trade advantage vis-a-vis other European powers.
This is the story of the Portuguese Inquisition in Goa. Hope you enjoy!

It's also worth pointing out that Afonso d'Albuquerque made laws for the integration of Portuguese in Goan society, most times against the church. He gave financial incentives to Goan women who married Portuguese men and applied strict punishment to any Portuguese who hurt a Goan. This because, although bloodthirsty, Albuquerque was pragmatic to know he had to do nation building and diplomacy with the little manpower he had. It was when he left for voyages that the priests terrorized the population, Portuguese included.

[@mylesjude233]

Didn't know about that pragmatic side to Portugeuse rule, speaking of Afonso, do you think there should be made a video made talking more about his contributions to the Portugeuse Empure/ do you know of any other famed European adventurers who ventured to India.

Off the top of my mind, those are a few.

[@miguelsomething]

It's important to understand the trader and explorer class was in constant conflict with the noble and religious class. Albuquerque taught his men Swiss tactics of phalanx and arquebus to preserve manpower, while nobles often charged to battle with no discipline cause they believed they were blessed by God or would be martyrs anyway. King João II, the one prior to Manuel, had Jews and minorities in his court as mathematicians, advisors, etc. The church was the thorn in the flesh that interfered with the trading, tolerance and cosmopolitanism.

The inquisition took place in Europe during a dark period. The religious leaders of that time did not deserve to be ahead of any religion. Haven't Hindus and Muslims been killing each other too? Are these religions terrible? Are all Muslims and Hindus bad?!!! The good will also last in the future. Everything that has a human hand, has good and evil... Portugal never intended to conquer India. Goa, Daman and Diu were needed to control the spice routes. The Portuguese married Indian women (mixed). And the British in India?! Goa was an important city, being considered the "ROME of the East" (one of the five patriarchates in the world is that of Goa). The Portuguese ended social differences (there were no castes). The Portuguese were in India until 1961 (the British until 1947). The Portuguese Empire in India is one of the states in India with the highest GDP per capita. 30% of the population is Catholic and many are proud that their culture is a mixture of Portuguese and Indian. The population has Portuguese names. Houses influenced by Portuguese architecture. The Inquisition was an error of the men who ruled the Catholic Church at that time.

The Portuguese had a major influence on some communities in Kerala. Their army attacked Jews and forcibly converted Nestorian ("Syrian") Christians to Roman Catholicism. After the army left the ex-Nestorians had no priests, so they applied for help to the Patriarchs in the Middle East and most of the "Syrian Orthodox" ended up as Jacobites: which was for Catholics the opposite heresy to the Nestorians. The Portuguese took away the Syriac books and manuscripts for "correction." Many were probably destroyed, either in India or after archiving in Portugal. So a lot of history has been lost.

Well you should study a bit more and not rely only on youtube videos. Though there is no lie here, they failed to mention that in Goa, before the portuguese arrived, the widowers were burned alive when their husband died and this was stopped by the portuguese. I'm not justifying the inquisition, but you have to put it in perspective for the time. Although it seems horrendous for today's eyes, societies back then were brutal. In addition to that, when Goa was integrated in the Indian state, it's population was completely integrated in Portuguese society and wanted to remain as such. That's why most of them fled from Goa to other portuguese colonies. There was no independence for Goa, there was a violent conquest of Goa by India. And during that conquest the indians massacred the goese population. Those crimes perpretated by India were much more recent and go untold and hidden from popular memory, during a period where life in Goa was good. You don't care about those, hein? Also, what do you think life was on the sultanate around Goa? Better than life on Goa during portuguese rule? Please

Are these religions terrible? Are all Muslims and Hindus bad?!!! The good will also last in the future. Everything that has a human hand, has good and evil... Portugal never intended to conquer India. Goa, Daman and Diu were needed to control the spice routes. The Portuguese married Indian women (mixed). And the British in India?! Goa was an important city, being considered the "ROME of the East" (one of the five patriarchates in the world is that of Goa). The Portuguese ended social differences (there were no castes). The Portuguese were in India until 1961 (the British until 1947). The Portuguese Empire in India is one of the states in India with the highest GDP per capita. 30% of the population is Catholic and many are proud that their culture is a mixture of Portuguese and Indian. The population has Portuguese names. Houses influenced by Portuguese architecture. The Inquisition was an error of the men who ruled the Catholic Church at that time.

My country did plenty of fucked up shit. Taken globally, India was actually lucky; what we did there isn’t a patch on what we did in Africa. Brasil, a part of Portugal for much of it’s existence and a country created by settlers, not natives, also did plenty of fucked up shit, both before and after independence. India, the portrayed victim in this context, is a completely artificial creation of the British Empire, that has, since it’s independence, developed a robust concept of nationhood. It had a varied list of atrocities committed both on the native states and their neighbors before British rule, and also managed to rack up quite the list of atrocities after independence, some of which can be felt to this day. Unlike both Brasil and Portugal, it is the only of these three countries that maintains several border claims and disputes, including the occupation of a territory in which the will of the native population was not respected. Nobody’s hands are clean. This is just how history is. It is up to us who study it to learn from it, instead of using it to fuel further resentment and hatred.

Whole cities were destroyed, and new Christian ones constructed. For example modern Mexico City stands on the site of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán and its cathedral on the site of one of the greatest Aztec temples.

Its more complicated than that. Jati today is a sub community which provides privileges and networks to members of that community. Today the problem of Jati is not scriptural. It's more of a social problem. I can give you some problems. Stereotyping of people from other Jatis, competition among different Jatis to create lobbies in different organizations, protesting for inclusion in reservations and the politics of different Jatis. It's like an undeclared civil war. The solutions cannot be radical. You cannot ask people to give up their Jatis. Just because some of us never felt a sense of belonging to a Jati does not mean rest of the society doesn't feel so. So it's going to be a slow process. Urbanisation of society is going to be the greatest contributor to get rid of Jatis. When you are living in urban society where you get to interact with people from different Jatis, the stereotyping starts to fall off. On the social front, I think Hindu unity and Hindu consolidation would be an important thing. So Hindutva can be a great force to negate Jati. I feel we are headed in the right direction. I feel Jati is going to die a slow death in next 1-2 centuries.

@@armandovaiandando6472 the Almoravids weren’t around for long though, an later successor fiefdoms like the Emirate of Granada or the Emirate of Córdoba reverted to the far more tolerant ways for the Umayyads, thankfully. Sadly, it wasn’t to last as the fractured Muslim holdings in the peninsula were no match for the growing power of the Northern Christian realms, and it wasn’t long before the kingdoms of Astorias, Galicia, Leon and Castile formed into the Kingdom of Castile. Just as soon as they had conquered Seville, and Portugal Algarve, they became just as bad, if not worse than the Almoravids. At least they didn’t destroy Alhambra.

[@enterfil]

That’s not why Portugal lost their empire. They lost much of it because they were too small of a country and the land they owned was too big, also because they lost their war against the Dutch. Discrimination had nothing to do with why they lost their empire, it was the desire of freedom for why they lost it. Compared to other European nations Portuguese were much more tolerant of other races and had a high degree of intermixing with locals.

[@ramdevchouhan2081]

Some spread the news that he destroyed the culture but the letters prove that he actually learned the native languages, roamed with native people and ate their food. What about his clothings? Well he could not do anything about it because as a Priest it is demanded of every priest that they remain in their Cassock all the time. Certain liberties were rewarded only after the second Vatican Council (1962-1965). The inquisition was meant for wiping out Hindu religion and many were burnt at stakes and executed…how true is it? All the historians agree that the inquisition was not meant for any other but the Newly convert Christians who were falling back to their old practices. Francis Pyrard, a French traveller, was in Goa during the period July 1608 to January 1610. In his account of his travels he gives the following information of the Inquisition of Goa : The Indian Gentiles and Moors, of whatsover religion, are not subject to this Inquisition unless they have become Christians, and even then are not so rigorously dealt with as the Portuguese or New Christians from Portugal, or other Christians from Europe. But if peradventure an Indian, Moor, or Gentile inhabitant of Goa, had dissuaded or hindered another that was minded to become Christian, and that was proved against him, he would be punished by the Inquisition, as would be he who has caused another to quit Christianity; such cases often happen. The reason why they treat these Indian thus rigorously is that they suppose tluit they cannot be so steadfast in the faith as the old Christians ; also that it will prevent the rest from being led astray. For the same reason, too, they permit them to retain some of their petty Gentile and Mahomedan superstitions, such as not eating pork or beef, not drinking wine, and keeping to their former dress and ornaments, that is among men as well as women that are become Christians.[27] In fact there are evidences that the Portuguese brought about certain reforms in the society which the Hindu community had imposed on others and oppressed the lower class and women. For example the Portuguese dealt strictly with Sati. “ No Hindu woman, living in the territories of Salsete or Bardez, or in this island of Goa or any other island annexed thereto, shall bum herself alive on account In fact there are evidences that the Portuguese brought about certain reforms in the society which the Hindu community had imposed on others and oppressed the lower class and women. For example the Portuguese dealt strictly with Sati. “ No Hindu woman, living in the territories of Salsete or Bardez, or in this island of Goa or any other island annexed thereto, shall bum herself alive on account of the death of her husband. Any person who causes such a woman to be burnt alive, or for that purpose render an advice or help, be he a relation of the woman who has burnt herself or not, shall be liable to the penalty of loss of his entire estate, one half to the person who denounces him and the other for the works of the home of Apostle St. Thomas, and im¬ prisonment for life.[28] There were forced conversions. Really? The Newly converts were forcefully converted and were returning to their old religion out of love for it…really?? Hindus were persecuted and temples were broken down. How true is it and Was it a regular event? This is a big question. In fact these are many questions. I formally thought of addressing it one by one but these are interconnected and I may repeat things again and again that’s why I thought of integrating them together. And once again I would like to remind that we need to move from interpreting history to interpreting history in its context and circumstances. We cannot interpret histories according to the mindset and concepts of today. Just some decades ago, some tribes of the African deserts were cannibals, they have recently stopped their taste for human meat. Can you still judge them? III.3.1. NO FORCED CONVERSIONS AS REGULAR PATTERN Well, it is true that Afonso Albuquerque used a very easy technique to get the people to be Christians. However, we should know that it was the part of agreement with the local Hindus and the Portuguese under Albuquerque when they sought his help to fight the Muslims. If they were not happy with it shouldn’t they have rather died for their religion instead of converting to new one? Bragging about the situation makes no sense. Therefore, what people like Shefali try to show a picture is that they were forced. Not at all, they had a choice and an agreement. If you ask me whether there forced conversions in times of St. Francis Xavier or if he forcefully converted anyone the I would give a certainly NO. Let me first begin by saying that in the year 1567 the Portuguese King had come out with the edict that no one should be forced to convert or there would be severe punishment. “ In the first place it is hereby laid down that it is not lawful to bring to our faith and baptism any person by force with threats and terror, because no one comes to Christ by faith unless brought by the Celestial father with voluntary love and prevenient grace. Just as a person if by his free will he succumbs to the temptations of the Devil, perishes, so also if he responds to the call and grace of God he saves himself. The unbelievers should be brought to the true faith by the example of our lives, preaching of the truth of our law and the confutation of their errors so that by recognition of these things, they will give up their lies, and be received in Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life. Those who wish to bring the unbelievers to the true faith must also seek to cultivate gentleness and goodness in order that they may win persons to Christ, not merely by their preachings but also by kindness, courtesy and service .”[29] We should evaluate this edict. It was not merely any other order with a selfish motive behind the mind of the King to protect trade but a deep theological discourse. First of all he quotes the Scriptures to draw his conclusion. no one comes to Christ by faith unless brought by the Celestial father with voluntary love and prevenient grace.

The Portuguese ended social differences (there were no castes). The Portuguese were in India until 1961 (the British until 1947). The Portuguese Empire in India is one of the states in India with the highest GDP per capita. 30% of the population is Catholic and many are proud that their culture is a mixture of Portuguese and Indian. The population has Portuguese names. Houses influenced by Portuguese architecture. The Inquisition was an error of the men who ruled the Catholic Church at that time.

@@gauravonguitars I am a Christian and I condemn the Inquisition and I condemn the period in history when some Popes should never have been. The Inquisition was as bad for the people of Goa as for the Portuguese living in Portugal. It was much milder than the Spanish one, but in Goa, as far as I know, it was bad (believing the video, despite having two gross mistakes). To understand history, we have to understand the mentality of that time. I condemn, in the light of today, the destruction of religious temples (perhaps this has happened when they are in combat; there are many places where they lived peacefully with other religions, perhaps because the Portuguese are few). The destruction of those temples was a cultural (and religious) loss for the Indian people and humanity. I would love to visit these ancient temples. Christianity only arrived in Asia through the Portuguese, but there were already religious conflicts between Muslims and Hindus (and in Europe, between Christians and Muslims). Spreading any religion cannot be by force but by heart. Francisco Chavier has his name spread throughout Asia and when he died he was soon revered by people of different religions. He died before the inquisition in Goa and was a man of peace. About this man, it is not the manhood that is wrong. When watching the video and the responses that emerge about the video, assertions against the Portuguese, Christianity and Christians are notorious. Today, all Christians condemn the inquisition (and even then, there were Christians who were against the inquisition imposed by religious leaders). The human hand has the gift to do good, but also evil. This video only speaks of evil, seeming to be aimed at creating religious hatred. Religious conflicts are not over this century. So I decided to add good things made by the Portuguese. when the inquisition was over, there were no problems between religions. India's independence did not lead to conflicts between Hindus and Muslims in Portuguese territory. there are 2 misleading information in this video (at least that I can see) 4:14 " the Goan inquisition was jump-started in 1543 with the arrival of Saint Francis Xavier " Saint Francis Xavier never worked for inquisition, and he was already dead 8 years before, when the inquisition was established in Goa in 1560. 12:16 The inquisition wasn't abolish in 1821 in Goa, on paper it was abolish in 1774 The reality was that after the Lisbon tsunami 1755 the Inquisition was decapitated by the Portugal prime-minister which made it powerless in Portugal and other territories for ever. What happen after king D. Jose death, was that in Goa it was created another type of "inquisition" in 1778, which had no power other then passing fines, and that made people return to Goa, because 40% of Goan population by the time India annexed Goa was non-christian. An embrace of friendship and mine if I didn't make myself understood and if I offended him.

Their legacy is today evident from the fact that there are more Catholics in the Americas than in Europe . Also let me inform you that many "Goans" are proud to be a catholic. The famous saint St.Francis Xavier you mentioned is revered by many Goans. Many of whom are looking forward to celebrating his feast this year on the 3rd of December. Goa is also a state where beef is legal but cow slaughter is banned(Buffalo and ox meat is legal). Thanks to the guys like those who love this video of yours.

You can still see the converted Catholics who escaped Goa and settled in the coastal belt of Karnataka speak Konkani unlike other Catholics in Karnataka and most of them have the Portuguese sur names (some still have hindu sur names like Prabhu, Kamath) And the Hindus who didn't want to be converted to Christianity and escaped Goa speak Konkani as well.

Most Kamaths and prabhus are still Hindus. Very few of them are catholic.

[@LadyNikitaShark]

As a Portuguese person, this is why I hate the influence of the church in my country's history. When you start studying the age of discovery, you can see that at first, the Portuguese would just have trading posts, would mingle, marry, have kids and learn with the locals. The primary objective was trading good. When the Vatican started having a saying in the Portuguese court, everything turned very bad, very fast. I can trace my family name to the first wave of "new" Christians but records before that were lost,so, I don't know if it was actually a Jewish names or a name my family adopted when they were forcefully converted.

Another excellent episode. The Indian subcontinet has to have one of the most puzzlingly neglected histories in the world. It is rich with great kingdoms and rulers, forgotten battles and empires, fascinating people. The people of India (and the world) really ought to know more about it. When digging in the gold mine of Indian history, you're sure to find many nuggets.
