Today is 30 May and this day is celebrated as Goa Rajya Din or Goa Day as Goa attained statehood on this day. On this occasion, Hindus took to Twitter to speak out against the Goa Inquisition by Missionaries backed by Portuguese kings and how Hindus and other were brutalised for not accepting Christianity or for ‘disobeying’ Jesuits and Padris. Hindus also demanded top stop conversion of Hindus by missionaries using deceptive methods now-a-days.
The hashtag #Stop_Conversions reached on 4th spot in top 10 national trends on Twitter in India for brief period of time. It was there on 5th spot for few hours. Another related hashtags like #GoaInquisition and keywords such as ‘Francis Xavier’, ‘Goa Inquisition’, ‘Portuguese’ and ‘Christianity’ were also in top 20 trends in India for some time. More than 50,000 tweets were tweeted using above mentioned hashtags and keywords.
Here are some of the tweets from these trends :
‘He (the survivor) has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.’- Elie Wiesel on Holocaust. #GoaInquisition pic.twitter.com/SDlUGCdhuS

Inquisition Tools – 1.
Can you still call Francis Xavier a Saint ?
And…
Christianity spread with Peace & Love ?

Many people think that so-called St. Francis Xavier had nothing to do with #GoaInquisition. But it was Xavier only who had asked Portugal King permission to carry out Inquisition in Goa. His name should be removed from colleges, places etc. for such brutality !#Stop_Conversions pic.twitter.com/72XWW2eXSi

The #GoaInquisition punished those who had converted to Catholicism but were suspected by Jesuit clergy of practising their previous religion in secret. Those targeted were accused of Crypto-Hinduism
The Portuguese inhumanely persecuted the Hindus of Goa#Stop_Conversions https://t.co/TNPPMvtXJG— Chetan Rajhans © (@1chetanrajhans) May 30, 2020

It was St. Francis Xavier, who for the first time, brought torture, violence, intimidation and terror to Goa to force native Indians to convert to Catholic Christians.#GoaDay It was on this day when goa was liberated!#GoaInquisition #Stop_Conversions@shriram_l@ShefVaidya pic.twitter.com/BRwwMj7nGA

पोर्तुगीज सत्ता के ‘इन्क्विजिशन’ अत्याचारों के समय बलिदान देनेवाले गोमंतकीय हिन्दुओं की अस्मिता का प्रतिक रहे ‘हातकातरो’ खंबा आज भी उपेक्षित है । @ASIGoI @GoaCM कृपया हातकातरो खंबे की ऐतिहासिक पुरातन वास्तु दर्जा देकर उसका त्वरित संवर्धन करें।#GoaInquisition #Stop_Conversions pic.twitter.com/ObxR30FZKV
