Considering the importance that issues such as this have in understanding communal relations both in Goa's past and present, I would think the issue is not just about Priolkar having "misrepresented" facts. To my mind, the issues are: * Is this is a one-sided, hyped-up portrayal of the Inquisition? * Does it buy into earlier stereotypes that could have also been hyped-up and spread by other interested parties involved in colonial or sectarian politics of the time? * Has political use been made of Priolkar's work, with or without his awareness? If so, by whom? * Has his work been open to misinterpretation, or misinterpreted by others? * How is this affecting the understanding of communalism and secularism in today's Goa. Of course, other issues too could come up in the discussion. FN
