How did the colonization of Goa in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries take place? How was it related to projects for the conversion of Goan colonial subjects to Catholicism? In Religion and Empire in Portuguese India, Ângela Barreto Xavier examines these questions through a reading of the relevant secular and missionary archives and texts. She shows how the twin drives of conversion and colonization in Portuguese India resulted in a variety of outcomes, ranging from negotiation to passive resistance to moments of extreme violence. Focusing on the rural hinterlands rather than the city of Goa itself, Barreto Xavier shows how Goan actors were able to seize hold of complex cultural resources in order to further their own projects and narrate their own myths and histories. In the process, she argues, Portuguese Goa emerged as a space with a specific identity that was a result of these contestations and interactions. The book de-essentializes the categories of colonizer and colonized, making visible instead their inner-group diversity of interests, their different modes of identification, and the specificity of local dynamics in their interactions and exchanges—in other words, the several threads that wove the fabric of colonial life.

“My God is better than your God”. Debate settled. The “my God versus your God” battle has consumed millions of lives over many centuries. Will there ever be a day when Jews, Christians, Muslims and Hindus worship a single God? ‘In Search of the Universal God’ is a step by step guide to discover such a God within our own religion. It attempts to resolve global religious conflicts and unite humankind into a single brotherhood. This book takes you on a journey of discovery and helps find answers to questions like: 1. What is the definitive way to resolve religious conflicts and end the violence and bloodshed? 2. Why are there so many different religions and so many different Gods? 3. Does God really discriminate against followers of any religion? 4. What happens to people who do not follow our religion? 5. Who are the “chosen people” of God? 6. What is the purpose of our life? 7. Why are old languages dying (Hebrew, Aramaic, Sanskrit, Greek and Latin) when the races who spoke these languages still survive?
