The book "Religion and Empire in Portuguese India: Conversion, Resistance, and the Making of Goa" by Dr. Sanjay Subrahmanyan explores the complex history of religious conversion, resistance, and imperialism in the context of Portuguese India during the 16th to 18th centuries. The book delves into the intricate web of political, social, and cultural factors that shaped the region's religious landscape and the ways in which local populations resisted and adapted to colonial rule. The book begins by examining the arrival of the Portuguese in India in the early 16th century and their attempts to establish a foothold in the subcontinent. The author highlights how the Portuguese used religion as a tool for colonization, converting local populations to Christianity and imposing their own beliefs and practices on the native population. This process of conversion was not without resistance, however, as many Hindus and Muslims refused to accept the new faith and instead fought back against the colonizers. One of the key themes of the book is the tension between the Portuguese desire to convert and the local populations' desire to maintain their traditional beliefs and practices. The author shows how this tension led to various forms of resistance, including armed rebellions, boycotts, and legal challenges. The book also explores the role of local leaders and intellectuals who played a crucial role in organizing resistance movements and preserving traditional knowledge and practices. The book also delves into the impact of colonialism on Indian society, particularly in the areas of language, education, and culture.
Книга «Религия и империя в португальской Индии: обращение, сопротивление и создание Гоа» доктора Санджая Субрахманяна исследует сложную историю религиозного обращения, сопротивления и империализма в контексте португальской Индии в период с XVI по XVIII века. Книга углубляется в запутанную сеть политических, социальных и культурных факторов, которые сформировали религиозный ландшафт региона, и способы, которыми местное население сопротивлялось и адаптировалось к колониальному правлению. Книга начинается с изучения прибытия португальцев в Индию в начале XVI века и их попыток закрепиться на субконтиненте. Автор подчёркивает, как португальцы использовали религию как инструмент колонизации, обращая местное население в христианство и навязывая туземному населению свои собственные верования и практики. Этот процесс обращения не обошёлся без сопротивления, однако, поскольку многие индуисты и мусульмане отказались принять новую веру и вместо этого дали отпор колонизаторам. Одной из ключевых тем книги является напряжение между португальским желанием обратиться и желанием местного населения сохранить свои традиционные верования и практики. Автор показывает, как эта напряженность привела к различным формам сопротивления, включая вооруженные мятежи, бойкоты и правовые вызовы. В книге также исследуется роль местных лидеров и интеллектуалов, сыгравших важнейшую роль в организации движений сопротивления и сохранении традиционных знаний и практик. Книга также углубляется в влияние колониализма на индийское общество, особенно в области языка, образования и культуры.
