The Goan Catholics (Konkani: Goenche Catholics ) is a Roman Catholic ethno-religious community and their descendants from the state of Goa, located on the west coast of India. They are the people of Konkan Beach and speak Konkani. The Portuguese sailors arrived in Goa in 1510, and Catholic missionary activity soon followed, when Pope Nicholas V had authorized the pope Romanus Pontifex in 1455, which provided protection for the spread of Christian faith in Asia to the Portuguese.
During the period of the Goa Inquisition (1560-1820) and the Portuguese-Maratha war, many Goa Catholics migrated to neighboring areas, especially Mangalore. Some who are targeted by the Inquisition are converts to Catholics who retain some of their original or Hindu traditions, which the Inquisition aims to suppress. Today, many of their descendants are regarded as Mangalore Catholics.
The Goan Catholic culture includes original feni, liquor, Portuguese-Goan cuisine, and donations for literature and music, including famous musicians Lorna Cordeiro and Remo Fernandes. Culture is a blend of Indian-Hindu and Portuguese-Christian cultures, with the latter having a more dominant role since Goa became part of Portugal for over 450 years. The idea of ​​Goan's identity as a different culture among other Luso-Asian or Luso-Indian cultures was forged to India after Goa's annexation in 1961. However, contemporary Catholic-Catholic culture can be described as an increasingly strangling Indo-Latin culture. and is widely seen as different, both in India and around the world.
The Catholic Diaspora of Goa is concentrated in the Arabian Gulf countries of Persia, the world of Lusophone, especially Portugal, and the Anglophone world, especially Britain, Canada, Australia and the United States. (Many Goa Catholics speak English as their first language.) People from Catholic Goa have also served at government posts in several countries, including the current Portuguese Prime Minister, António Costa, and two British parliamentarian Keith Vaz and Valerie Vaz.

Ethnic identity
Roman Catholics from the present state of Goa, a region on the west coast of India, and their descendants are commonly referred to as Goa's Catholics. After the Portuguese overcame Goa in 1510, the Portuguese consolidated their power by imposing their own government and cultural traditions that some still retained in Goa. Many pre-Portuguese (and some Muslim) Hindu traditions are adapted or maintained by Goa's Catholics. This often includes the Hindu caste system although it is not widely practiced. Throughout the Portuguese Empire most of the civil administration (eg registration of births, marriages and deaths, schools, hospitals, orphanages, etc.) was initially administered by religious orders and it is still possible to find these records with the Catholic church in Goa. All Goans born before 1961 were Portuguese citizens from birth and many of today's Goans and their descendants took back their ancestral rights.
During the 1800s, there began a massive emigration of Goa Catholics to Bombay, seeking job opportunities. The English saw them as Portuguese and favored them in administration because of their ease in the use of English and western-dominated cultures. At this time Bombay is part of the British Empire and there is another Luso-India community; East Indian Catholics, who were former residents of Portuguese Bombay before being awarded to the British East India Company in the seventeenth century. Since the Goan and East-Indian communities were converted to Christianity by the Portuguese, the English referred to them as "Portuguese Christians." They shared the same church, attended many of the same religious functions and shared Portuguese family names and cultures (especially Goans). The naming habits, especially in terms of family names are still Portuguese, however, the more popular first names are used today.
On 3 February 1951, to prevent international criticism, Portugal changed the constitution to declare Goa as Portugal's overseas province. After Goa was incorporated into the Indian Union in 1961, Goa's Catholics continued to distinguish themselves as "Goan" because they were difficult to adapt to the term "India". Under Portuguese citizenship laws, the Goans who were born before 1961 in Portuguese territory at the time, Portugal, were entitled to Portuguese citizenship. In accordance with Portuguese law is extended to 2 generations, that is for their children and grandchildren. All naturalized citizens of Goa receive their citizenship through descent (Jus solis) from Portuguese parents or grandparents.
Away from Portugal after the seventeenth-century Goan, like the Maccabean and Timorese, Goans have left much of their own affairs with a higher level of independence, though still part of Portugal. Goans moved quite to other parts of the Portuguese Empire, and metropolitan Portugal and it was possible to find Goans with roots in America, Africa, Europe and Asia. After 450 years of being a part of Portugal, during the first post-Liberation years, Goans found it difficult to embrace their new status as part of India and many emigrated to other countries (dominated by western countries), a trend that often continues to this day. However, Goan Catholics in India today are proud of their Catholic Portuguese-Indian culture, their Konkani language and their role in modern multi-religious India. Yet many aspects of their social and religious life are deeply enshrined in their beautiful western heritage. For example they celebrated Carnival (western practice) before lending and their religious scriptures (the Catholic church) were only written and performed in Latin script. Even their language requires much from Portuguese in the syntactic sense or loan words.

History
Pre-Portuguese Era
Pre-colonial Goan history includes the phases of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. It is believed to date that there is no concrete proof that Christianity prevailed in Goa before the Portuguese arrived, but it is believed that St. Bartholomew, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, took the Gospel and spread it in Konkan, including Goa, as St. Thomas in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, in South India.
However, the work of historian Jose Cosme Costa, Christian Apostolate in Goa and on the West Coast (Pilar, Goa: Xavierian Publication Society, 2009), made the case for the existence of Christianity in Goa before the arrival of the Portuguese. He talks about Goa as a trade center with the Middle East and with Rome). He suggested that the Apostle Thomas might have managed to cross the land from northern India to Kerala. He also examined evidence from Apostle Bartholomew that has done more or less the same thing. Ch. 6 dedicated to Pre-Portuguese reference checks to Christians in Goa. Ch. 7 examine the remains of Pre-Portuguese Customs in Goa and Konkan. Ch. 8 concludes this book with "the latest archaeological finds": "The Cross of Thomas" is hidden in a small monument, overcome by the Latin Cross, near the old port of Goa. Thomas Cross contains an inscription in Pahlavi, which Costa reports says is the liturgical language of the church associated with the Metropolitan of Fars. Costa also pointed out that the 'Betal' worshiped in Goa is corruption 'Bartholomew'. P.O. Mascarenhas, Costa reported, even suggested that there are Christian temples dedicated to Trinity people: Abanath/Bhutnath (Father of God), Ravalnath (from Rabboni - RabulnaÃ, - Rabulnath)/Bhai rav (Brother of God), and Atman/Bhavka Devta, Santeri, Ajadevi (Spirit). What then happened to this early Christianity, if it did exist? Costa proposed that the Portuguese destroy the remains and forcibly assimilate these Christians into their own Christian form. Those who refused were among those who fled from Goa, he said. It could also be when the enthusiastic Bahmani Muslim kingdom reigns in Goa.
Portuguese era
The Portuguese came to India with ambitions of capturing Asian trade to Europe through the Arab world and by passing the traditional Silk Road from China to Europe. They also hope to create an empire and spread Christianity. The Portuguese first reached the west coast of India in 1498 when Vasco da Gama landed in Calicut. On 25 November 1510 Afonso de Albuquerque conquered Goa from Sultan Bijapur and made it their headquarters since 1530. In 1544, the Portuguese conquered the districts of Bardez, Tiswadi, and Salcette. Around the same time Pope Nicholas V enacted the Pontifical Papal Romanus Pontifex . This bull gave patronage ("Padroado") from the spread of Christian faith in Asia to the Portuguese and gave them a trade monopoly in newly discovered areas. Trading began as soon as Vasco da Gama arrived in India in 1498, but the Portuguese were initially not interested in changing the local population. The Catholic Church is given missionary responsibility in Asia, and all missionaries should call in lisbon before leaving for Asia. In Goa, the various orders were set up as distinct areas, with an internationally recognized Jesuit or Jesuits given to the province of Salsette in the South, and the Franciscans serving in the northern province of Bardez. Carmelites, Dominicans, and Augustinians are also present in Portuguese Goa.
In 1534 the diocese of Goa was formed from Funchal diocese to serve as the general diocese for the west coast of India, including Goa and the area in and around Bombay. Missionaries from the newly established Society of Jesus were sent to Goa; the Portuguese colonial government supported the Catholic mission with incentives for baptized Christians. They offered rice donations for the poor, well positioned in the Portuguese colonies for the middle class, and military support for local rulers. Many Indians are transformed into opportunistic Radiant Christians who continue to practice their old religion. The Portuguese, in their efforts to safeguard Christian purity, insist that converts should avoid anything Hinduism. The Portuguese rulers insisted that the natives should adopt foreign food habits and dress. They also gave European names to the natives. But Konkani Christians want to preserve their language, culture and manners. At the same time the Portuguese invaders in Goa imposed excessive taxes on the original Christians. Taxes were so large that in 1642 some natives sent a note to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.
In 1542 St. Francis Xaverius of the Society of Jesus arrived in Goa and noticed newly converted Christians practicing old habits and traditions (often pagan).
The Portuguese built various churches; the most famous of which was the Basilica of Bom Jesus ( BasÃÆ'lica of Child Jesus ) built during the sixteenth century - a UNESCO World Heritage Site dedicated to Baby Jesus - and Cathedral Se, the largest church in Asia dedicated to St. Peter's Church. Catherine of Alexandria, whose construction began in 1562 during the reign of King Dom SebastiÃÆ' o and completed in 1619. It was ordained in 1640. The Church of the Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception ( Nossa Senhora da Imaculada ConceiÃÆ'§ÃÆ'  £ o Igreja ) was built in 1540. The Church and Monastery Francis of Assisi (Igreja e Convento de SÃÆ' £ o Francisco de Assis), Lady of Rosary Church ( Igreja da Senhora perform RosÃÆ'¡rio ), St. Augustine ( Igreja de Santo Agostinho ), and St. Michael, Anjuna ( Igreja SÃÆ' £ o Miguel em Anjuna ), built in 1613, was also established during Portuguese rule.
Modern era
In 1787, inspired by the French Revolution, some Goa Catholic priests, unhappy with the promotion process within the Church and other discriminatory practices of the Portuguese, organized the Pinto Revolution against the Portuguese. This unsuccessful act was the first open rebellion against the Portuguese from within Goa. England controlled Goa twice, the first time in 1797-1798 and the second time from 1802 to 1813. In 1843 the capital was moved to Panjim and in the mid-18th century the area under Portuguese occupation extended to Goa's current limit.
In 1900 there were 262,648 Goa Catholics in Goa and 200,144 Hindus.
In 1921 it was estimated that 200,000 of the 670,000 Goans, mostly Christians, lived outside Goa.
On May 1, 1928 the diocese of Goa was renamed and promoted to the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman ( Goa e DamÃÆ'Â £ o ). This is the oldest diocese in terms of activities in the East, with its origins linked to the arrival of the Portuguese on the Malabar Coast. The Metropolitan Archbishop of Goa and Daman also used the title of Primate of the Indies or Primate of the East and honorably received the title of the Indian Patriarch.
At this time the Portuguese Empire began to decline and further resistance to their occupation in Goa began to gain momentum. When the rest of India gained independence in 1947, Portugal refused to release control of Goa. On December 18, 1961, India moved with troops and after 36 hours of hostilities, the Portuguese government was forced to surrender. On May 30, 1987 Goa was raised as India's 25th state.
In 1960 Goa's Catholics accounted for 224,617 (36 percent) of the total population in Goa. During the early 20th century, they began to migrate to other parts of India, especially to Mumbai and Bangalore in the 1920s and 1930s. They also began to migrate to Portuguese, English, and the United States. Today, Goa's Catholics make up 30 percent of Goa's total population. During the 1970s coastal communications increased between Bombay and Goa, after the introduction of the ship by the London-based trading firm, Shepherd. These ships facilitate the entry of Goa Catholics to Bombay.
Geographic distribution
According to the 2001 census, there are about 359,568 Christians in Goa, and most of them are Roman Catholics following the Latin Rite. Many Goa Catholics live in Mumbai and Bangalore. In the 1960s there were about 100,000 Goa Catholics in Bombay, 90,000 in urban Bombay, and 10,000 in Bombay suburbs. Other areas in India that have a small proportion of Goa Catholics are Delhi, Calcutta, Madras, Pune, Ahmednagar, Hyderabad, Nagpur, Nasik and Ranchi.
Goa's Catholics are also found abroad, both as Indians Without Population and People of Origin India (NRI), with some people born overseas. They are found in the Arabian Gulf countries of Persia in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait. Some have migrated to the Anglophone world, including the United States, Britain, Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. In 1954 there were about 1,000,000 Goa Catholics in India and 1,800,000 Goa Catholics outside Goa. Before the First Gulf War (1990-1991) there may be about 150,000 Goans outside of India. There are 100,000 Goa Catholics in Portugal. A large number were found in Karachi, Pakistan. Emigrants were recently discovered in Germany and Austria.
In 1999, the Goan Foreign Association, the Canadian Christian Association, and other Goan associations estimated that there were about 23,000 Goa Catholics in Canada, of which 13,000 were in Ontario. During 1954 it was estimated there were 20,000 Goa Catholics in Arab countries in the Persian Gulf, while 30,000 lived in Pakistan, from which 10,000 people settled in Karachi.

Women from the upper layer wear Fota-Kimao after the Church ceremony. Fota is a blouse made of red velvet and satin with black rim and embroidered with gold thread. Accessories used in conjunction with fota include various jewelry worn on the head, ears, neck, and arms. The Society
The people of Goa cultivate the same caste system that their ancestors had followed. A village in Goa is known as Ganv , the rights holder is Ganvkar, and Ganvkari belongs to the village association and the Ganvkars cooperative. The village community is known as Ganvponn , which is referred to by the Portuguese as Comunidades.
Caste
The community is divided into five castes: Bamonns, Chardos, Sudirs, Gauddos, Mahars, and Chamars.
The Bamonns (Konkani word for Brahmana) were originally members of the priestly caste, and have taken on various jobs such as agriculture, commerce, commerce, and gold. Some sub-castes, such as the Brahmins Saraswat Goud, Padyes, Daivadnyas, the goldsmiths and some merchants, are united into the Christian caste of Bamonn.
The Chardos (Konkani word for Kshatriyas) are converts of the Kshatriya caste (military/royal class), and include some members of the Vaishya caste (merchant class). The Vaishyas who were not included in the caste of Chardo were called Gauddos, and formed a fourth group. Conversionists form the third largest group and are known as Sudir (working class). Dalits or "Untouchables" who convert to Christianity into Mahars and Chamars, who form the fifth group. They then joined Sudir. The Christian converts of the original stock known as Gavddis are called Kunbi. Though they still weighed on the caste system, they regarded it as the most unpleasant legacy of their pre-Christian past.
Jobs
After conversion, the most favored occupation of Goa's Catholic men was to work on boats, while others served as officers to the Portuguese, becoming doctors, architects, lawyers, or businessmen. Agriculture is primarily done by orthodox women, because they are capable farmers, while orthodox men practice carpentry, building churches and other structures for the Portuguese. By the end of the seventeenth century, many women had received education and were employed as teachers or factory workers. Crafts and other industries do not exist.
Performing arts
On April 24, 1950, Mogacho Aunddo (Desire of Love), the first Konkani film by Al Jerry Braganza, was released in Mapusa, Goa. Frank Fernandes, whose stage name is Frank Fernand (1919-2007, born in Curchorem, Goa), is a prominent filmmaker and musician and is remembered for his films such as Amchem Noxib (Our Luck) in 1963 and Nirmonn (Destiny) in 1966.

The Mando, a contemporary form of dance music, evolved in Salcette in the first half of the nineteenth century from marriage music, especially Ovi . The songs in this style are calm and quiet, generally monologues in Bramhin Konkani dialect from the villages of South Goan Loutolim, Raia, Curtorim, and Benaulim. They are traditionally sung during ceremony Shim (bridal departure). The earliest composers of Mando were Ligorio de Costa of Courtarim (1851-1919) and Carlos Trindade Dias. The deck is a semi-classical dance form. A woman starts a dance and is then accompanied by other dancers. The Mussoll (alu dance), believed to be first performed by Kshatriya Chandor, commemorates the victory of King Harihara II (son of King Bukka I of the Vijaynagar Empire) over the Chola Empire in Chandrapur fortification in the fourteenth century.

One end is covered by the skin of a wild animal, and the other is left open.
The Konkani play, known as Tiatr, is a classic stage show with live singing and acting, written and performed in Goa. This form evolved in the 20th century with pioneer furnace experts such as Jao Agostinho Fernandes (1871-1941). Tiatr's themes include melodrama about family and home life, with each lyricist offering his own explanation for life issues. Tiatrist includes Prince Jacob and Roseferns, and in the past M. Boyer, C. Alvares, and Alfred Rose. On April 17, 1982, the first attempt by Italian Italian Bhurgo by Lucasinho Ribeiro was performed in Mumbai. In 2007, the Goa Government initiated the Tiatr Academy to facilitate the development of Tiart. The Tradition Of Voviyo , ancient folk songs sung by women during Ros , began before 1510 AD. Tradition must be discarded because of Portuguese prosecution, and songs now live in archives. Some survivors are read to this day at weddings, expressing noble sentiments that give people feelings about their marriage partners and families and asking God's blessings on them like machlies.
Goa's Catholics also play an important role in Bollywood music. (See Goans in Hindi film music composition)
