Portuguese Inquisition: Portugal in India

The Inquisition was established by the colonial era Inquisition in Portuguese India to enforce Catholic orthodoxy in the Indian colonies of the Portuguese Empire

Goa Inquisition was requested by Jesuit missionary Francis Xavier
Almost all of the Goa Inquisition’s records were burnt by the Portuguese when the inquisition was abolished in 1812

The Inquisition laws made reconversion to Hinduism, Islam and Judaism and the use of the indigenous Konkani and Sanskrit language a criminal offence
