Religion and religions: Syncretism Reconsidered; Notes; References; Index; 330 $a"The state of Goa on India's southwest coast was once the capital of the Portuguese-Catholic empire in Asia. When Vasco Da Gama arrived in India in 1498, he mistook Hindus for Christians, but Jesuit missionaries soon declared war on the alleged idolatry of the Hindus. Today, Hindus and Catholics assert their own religious identities, but Hindu village gods and Catholic patron saints attract worship from members of both religious communities. Through fresh readings of early Portuguese sources and long-term ethnographic fieldwork, this study traces the history of Hindu-Catholic syncretism in Goa and considers its implications for our understanding of power, religion, and postcoloniality"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSyncretism (Religion)$zIndia$zGoa (State) 606 $aHinduism$xRelations$xChristianity 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xHinduism 606 $aPostcolonialism$zIndia$zGoa (State) 607 $aGoa (India : State)$xReligion 607 $aGoa (India : State)$xReligious life and customs 615 0$aSyncretism (Religion) 615 0$aHinduism$xRelations$xChristianity. 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xHinduism. 615 0$aPostcolonialism 676 $a261.2/45095478 686 $aREL017000$aHIS017000$aSOC002010$2bisacsh 700 $aHenn$b Alexander$f1952-$01298313 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820314703321 996 $aHindu-Catholic encounters in Goa$93977062 997 $aUNINA
