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. Today, Hindus and Catholics assert their own religious
identities, but Hindu village gods and Catholic patron saints
attract worship from members of both religious communities. Through
fresh readings of early Portuguese sources and long-term
ethnographic fieldwork, this study traces the history of
Hindu-Catholic syncretism in Goa and reveals the complex role of
religion at the intersection of colonialism and modernity.
