Hindu-Catholic Encounters in Goa: Religion, Colonialism, and Modernity
Alexander Henn
The state of Goa on India's southwest coast was once the capital of the Portuguese-Catholic empire in Asia. When Vasco Da Gama arrived in India in 1498, he mistook Hindus for Christians, but Jesuit missionaries soon declared war on the alleged idolatry of the Hindus. This study traces the history of Hindu-Catholic syncretism in Goa.
