The Blood-Chilling History Of Francis Xavier #Goa

The Christian missionaries threatened to convert Jain King Kumud and all 22,000 Jains of Goa to convert to Christianity within 6 months, abandon Jainism and accept Christianity or face death
but King Kumud and Jains were ready to die and refused conversion.

An unknown historical fact is the heartbreaking incident that occurred 500 years ago. Jain King Kumud was ruling Goa. Portuguese captured Goa by forcibly removing him.
The Catholic clergy along with the Portuguese army attacked in large numbers to convert innocent people. The clergy captured the entire city of Goa, threatening and forcing people to convert. Those who opposed conversion and refused to convert, were brutally killed.
The Christian missionaries threatened to convert Jain King Kumud and all 22,000 Jains of Goa to convert to Christianity within 6 months, abandon Jainism and accept Christianity or face death, but King Kumud and Jains were ready to die and refused conversion.
During the six months, Christian Xavier tried everything to convert the Jains like Sam(politely)-daam(money), Dand(punish)-bhed(divide). The Jains did not convert. The cruel Xavier Portuguese killed them all.

In a large field, King Kumud and the righteous audience,
boys and girls, were tied up. Then started slaughtering one after the other mercilessly. Christian Xavier was smiling at his face. Xavier said this will be the condition of those who are not ready to become Christian. It was a desire to convey this message to the world
The main population of Catholicism appreciated Xavier and for that. Xavier was honored by giving diverse terrain. after this bloodshed, Francis Xavier was recognized as St. (Saint) Xavier.

The name St. Xavier was added to the category of English schools and colleges in India.
Today, the largest school network in India is St. Xavier’s. 

In a school run by the name of a cruel Christian pastor filled with the blood of thousands of Jains and Hindus, people are ready to send their children to study by paying large amounts of donations. After knowing this
history we should take inspiration from them and raise our voice against conversion.

The influence of Westernization and  Christianity is increasing in today’s living.
Hindu and jain identity is decreasing.
The termites of westernization are weakening us from inside. 

Christianity looks like a decent, well educated and peace-loving society. purpose is to spread the teachings of Jesus and help the poor. The reason for this recognition is the image created by the Christian society.
In India, Christian missionaries are openly carrying out conversions by fooling tribals and poor, abusing Hindu deities, sending Hindu monks and Sant in jail, refusing to speak Bharat Mata ki Jai in convent schools, mehndi is not allowed, Hindu and jain festival is forbidden to
be celebrated, even on festivals, holidays are not given and they are taken out of school for speaking Bharat Mata ki Jai ,yet the government does not take any action on them.
The Christian missionaries are also heavily funding in the media,
so the media does not show any misdeeds against the clergy of the church, even if a Hindu saint-saint gets a false accusation, they get 24 hours of news on it.

The year was 1555. Portuguese colonial power was at its peak in the 1500’s. They destroyed Zamorins of Calicut. Defeated the Sultan of Bijapur.
Took away Daman from the Sultan of Gujarat, Established a colony in Mylapore, Captured Bombay and made Goa as their headquarters. And while they were at it, pretty much unchallenged, they even ruined the ancient Kapaleeswarar Temple to build a Church over it.@truejainology
Their next target, the super profitable port of Mangalore.

Their only bad luck, just 14 kilometers south of Mangalore was the small settlement of Ullal - ruled then by a feisty 30 year old woman - *RANI ABBAKKA CHOWTA*

Initially, they took her lightly and sent a few boats

Cont..
#sarak #jain
Adhariya , bhumihar , sarak , bhil .
In west bengal
Sarak , sadgoup ( medinipur )
In ranchi there lives a Tamadiya Sarak in tamad paragana they basically came here from ayodhya and it's near by area's they have 17 Gotra mainly
are adidev, anant dev, dharm dev, kashyap .
Adinath , anantnath , dharmnath were born in ayodhya n nearby.
Tirthankar parshwnath's gotra was kashyap so sarak probably belong to same lineage.
Such a great great history and look at the today's situation.
Lets try hard to bring back them to our roots.

#Matang , मातंग
The forgotten caste of jainsim
is a Dalit caste , We can trace the origin of Matangs in Indus valley civilization. Matangs have very rich & ancient history and we can find references in ancient Jain literture.
#jaingem #Jainism #Thread
@truejainology @rajamaka
They are spread across maharashtra , Telangana , karnataka .
In andhra they are also known as madhiga ".
Meaning of word matang is - elephant.
In indian culture word matang is considered as a good ( सुभ ) word.
Even today in remote villages of maharashtra
@JainMaggii
If one sight's a matang , they consider it as a good luck (सुभ शकुन) .
Their basic work is to safeguard the villages(security) , making of ropes and brooms.
Whenever something good or new things marriages etc happens, ppl first invite matang, considering them as a good luck.
