Chhatrapati Shivajiโ€™s biggest feud with the Portuguese wasn't over land. It was over stolen children of Goa by an Catholic Church officials called "Fathers of Christians"

Under the Portuguese rule in India, the Goa Inquisition enforced a devastating policy regarding Hindu orphans. They ruthlessly seized children under the age of 14 to forcibly baptize themImage
The cruelty knew no bounds for Holy Inquisition office Children were torn from their homes even if their mothers were still alive.Priests would storm houses and snatch away any boy under 14 or girl under 12. Image
