THE CHRISTIAN MURDERS OF PEACEFUL HINDUS IN GOA !!!! PROOF FOR ALL TO SEE

[ravi]

(The Account below is as gruesome beyond human imagination. We hear
time and again people going for their holidays and relaxation to Goa
…..see what lies behind its history. {My comment})



Other instruments included a metallic glove in which the hand would be
roasted over a fire, and other tools for breaking one’s legs and
shins, disemboweling a person on the rack, sharp knives for cutting
the ears off of one’s head, or instruments that would tear a woman’s
breast from her body, and so on. All such being the ways to taste the
mercy of Christianity and feel remorse for not having converted. (From
Atrocities on Hindus by Missionaries in Goa , by V. Sundaram)



Also, the famous writer of the 19th century, Alexandre
Herculano, wrote in his book, Fragment About the Inquisition, how no
one was excused from the tortures of the Inquisition: “… the terrors
inflicted on pregnant women made them abort… Neither the beauty or
decorousness of the flower of youth, nor the old age, so worthy of
compassion in a woman, exempted the weaker sex from the brutal
ferocity of the supposed defenders of the religion… There were days
when seven or eight were submitted torture.”



Paul William Roberts, in Empire of the Soul, Some Journeys
in India , writes about the methods of the Portuguese Inquisition:
“Children were flogged and slowly dismembered in front of their
parents whose eyelids had been sliced off to make sure they missed
nothing. Extremities were amputated carefully, so
that a person could remain conscious even when all that remained was
a torso and a head... Those subjected to other diabolical tortures
could also be counted in the thousands and the abominations continued
until a brief respite in 1774... The evil resumed, continuing, almost
incredibly, until June 16, 1812.

The alarm caused by news of the Goan inquisition reached
Lisbon , where the Archbishop of Evora at the Cathedral church in
Lisbon said in his oration in June of 1897: “The Inquisition was an
infamous tribunal at all places. But the infamy never reached greater
depths, nor was more vile, more black, and more completely determined
by mundane interests than at the Tribunal of Goa, by irony called the
Holy Office. Here the inquisitors went to the length of imprisoning in
its jails women who resisted their advances, and after having
satisfied their bestial instincts there, ordering that they be burnt
as heretics.” (From The Hindus and the Portuguese Republic, Priolkar,
pp174-175)

Dr. Trasta Breganka Kunha, a Catholic citizen of Goa ,
had written: “In spite of all the mutilations and concealment of
history, it remains an undoubted fact that religious conversion of
Goans is due to methods of force by the Portuguese to establish their
rule. As a result of this violence the character of our people was
destroyed. The propagation of Christian sect in Goa came about not by
religious preaching but through methods of violence and pressure. If
any evidence is needed for this fact, we can obtain it through law
books, orders and reports of the local rulers of that time and also
from the most dependable documents of the Christian sect.”



From all this we can plainly see that the Goan Inquisition by the
Portuguese Catholic Church was nothing less than a sustained war
against Hindus and the Vedic culture itself.



Looking back at the history of the church, the Vatican has
apologized for the agony inflicted on Galileo, who was right all
along. Thus, we can access that it is time that the Vatican also
convey its apology for the Goan Inquisition. In fact, should they not
give some reparation for all of the damage they did and the horrors
they inflicted on so many people? Nobody knows exactly how many
citizens were killed or tortured by the Portuguese in the name of
Christ, but it would be likely to run into hundreds of thousands.

After reviewing how much cruelty Christians have used to establish
their religion, or even force it on others in all parts of the world,
is there much wonder why some people like Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
observed, “Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the
introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined,
imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards humanity. What
has been the effect of coercion?” Or why the Irish author Oscar Wilde
(1854-1900) commented, “When I think of all the harm the Bible has
done, I despair of ever writing anything to equal it.”
