That is very funny. On a more serious note though, if I remember right, I think it was Dr Teotonio De Souza who wrote about the large numbers of members of Portuguese Jewry coming to down to Goem and clandestinely practicing their religion. This was after persecution coerced them into conversions in Portugal.
The introduction of the Inquisition in Portugal and Goem was primarily to root out these ‘recidivists’. Wayward Christians obviously weren’t spared either. Over here it swept up recalcitrant Hindu converts in its cruel net. Xanno Moidecar
