Inquisitions Forced Conversion Narrative by Hindu fascists
[edit]About this edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/1185080586
I have flagged the questionable material added by Varoon (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/1184112020). The user has been abusing Wikipedia for their hindu majoritarianist political agenda known as hindutva. His anti-Christian bias in their other edits are obvious. With impunity, he has been whitewashing the Hindu fascist BJP political party for its involvement in anti-Christian violence: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/1184577643
Inquisition based bogey/ narrative of forced conversions by Hindu majoritarianists and fascists. It has been the anti-freedom of religion and anti-conversion smear campaign; driven by lobbies of Hindu fascism backing the current administration. It was started by Hindu Maharashtri supremacists such as AK Priolkar who wrote the dubious the Goa Inquisition book. They wanted the Konkani language suppressed and replaced as Mahratti and Guzerati in Goa and Damaon; as it has happened in the Konkan Division occupied by Maharashtra. The supremacists also wanted Goa erased from the map, by having it occupied by pro-Hindutva Mahraashtra political parties.
A Rediff source has been used. If I remember correctly, Rediff was a listed unreliable as per WP:RS.
Also, according to Teotonio in the sources used by Varoon (https://books.google.com/books?id=vtf1eRE8FC8C&q=persecution): Oppression of Hindus and demolition of temples was done directly by Portuguese colonialists and started before the Goan Inquisition. Christian Inquisition has been mistaken for Hindu persecution because of the overwhelming YouTube and Twitter smear campaign; run by Hindu fascists and majoritarianists such as Shef Vaidya a mouthpiece and Maharashtri member of RSS.
The Inquisition dealt with Christians only and punished only those Hindus who used force or violence to stop conversions to Christianity; inorder to protect the Christian minority. 106.79.207.29 (talk) 13:21, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
