Cuncolicha Preranadayi Pravah

This book presents a dispassionate and objective account of the Inquisition against the background of the religious policy of the Portuguese. It is based on authentic archival documents and correspondence of the Jesuits. Dr. Dellon’s experiences as a prisoner are also reprinted at the end.

The Social History of Goa is of great importance as it proves beneficial to research scholars and general readers and to understand  the social interaction of the people of 16th century Goa. The book is written in an inimitable style and sustains the interest of the readers throughout.
