Goa Inquisition: Untold Atrocity on Goan Hindu.

The Inquisition was a judicial system introduced in India by Portuguese invaders. The sole objective was to promote Catholic Church at the cost of Hindu belief through an organized and brutal manner in their control of territory from 1560 to 1812. The Goa Inquisition ensured religious conversion, persecution of local Hindu and confiscation of Hindu`s Property in an outrageous manner. The infamous Goa inquisition law made the reconversion back to Hindu and even practice of language Konkani as crime punishable under religious law. Just imagine the diabolical face of those missionaries who enacted such a bloody act.
