Talk:Goan Catholics

Please contribute== All Goan Catholics please contribute to this page. I don't know whether the information about us (Goan Catholics) is up to wikipedia standarads standards or no. Whwtever I am doing is just to expand the page. Please improve the page. Since there is no discussion, I don't know what is right and what is wrong. So please be helpful and add your contributions.

Template:IPA
Hi, Sanfy, you substituted the romanization of the Konkani name of this territory for its pronunciation. I'm afraid your edition wasn't right. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) allows us to write the pronunciation of words. It doesn't deal with letters (Roman or whatever), but with sounds. Making use of this system, the expression गोंय  means that what we call Goa in English is written गोंय in Konkani, and that, according to the IPA, it is pronounced /ɡɔ̃j/. The Template:IPA is a powerful tool to do so in the WP. Please feel free to add the romanization of the word if you wish, but preferably leaving the pronunciation too. Kind regards, --Zack Holly Venturi (talk) 17:56, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Why do you need the translation. Is it relevant to the article. --Deepak D'Souza 12:37, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Please Refer
I suggest editors to refer to the below mentioned articles since they all are featured articles. We should try to emulate these articles on People.

1999 Cuncolim events
I have removed this section again as per WP:UNDUE. WP:UNDUE isn't just about how long you write a particular section but also about whether it is relevant at all. The event that took pace was a one off event, that too nearly a decade back. Taking one event and puting it will give the reader the impression that it is actuallu much larger than what it really was. If there are scholarly articles which state that caste is an important aspect of Goan Catholic society it should be included. But to take a single event and maing a mountain out of it is certaily not acceptable. --Deepak D'Souza 10:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

This image fails the "Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." of Non-free content, thus has an invalid fair use rationale. Also, " Cover art: Cover art from various items, for identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item(not for identification without critical commentary)." -- Redtigerxyz Talk 14:33, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Comments

 * Modern era
 * Dr Froilano de Mello (1877-1955) did remarkable work for improving the health of the malaria-endemic city of Old Goa by mapping the entire area so as to discover the source of malaria. John Francis Ludger Gracias (1888-1969), among the first Goans to migrate to Kenya, and played a major role in the establishment of the Kenya and Uganda Railways and Harbours. He was awarded with an MBE by King Edward VIII -- one of the few honours bestowed by King Edward in his short reign. Brilliant Goan civil engineer Bismark Dias is remembered for designing the town of Vasco da Gama.
 * Remove this. A single person is not a community. If you think they are worth mentioning, the proper place is the Notable Goan Catholics section. Not the History. Kensplanet TC 14:03, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Done. Sanfy T.


 * Language and literature
 * Goan Catholics also have the elite people who do continue speaking Portuguese. Goan Catholics do have a set of people who are pursuing this language just for the love for it.
 * What nonsense is this. Please make it a bit professional and please provide citations. These sentences are found abundantly in blogs. Kensplanet TC 14:14, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Done. Sanfy T.


 * Modern era
 * In 1909 the population of Goa, was 3,65,291, out of whom, 2,93,628 (80%) were Catholics

Catholic or Chiristao
I have never heard local goans calling themselves Catholics .. they usually call themselves as christao....

I think it shud be Goynche Kristanv (IN NAGARI SCRIPT) and not as goynche catholic... Nijgoykar (talk) 08:20, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I think we should stick to Goenche Katholik,


 * 1) Firstly check pls check V-ixxt "KatolikKhobro". V-ixxt is a Konkani weekly since 1933 so so it its sure that Goenche Katholik is also popluar.,
 * 2) Anyhow we are talkig about Goan Catholics only, Kristanv (meaning: Christian), will also include newly converted Goan Protestants, and it is some necessary to put the exact translation of Goan Catholics. Thanks.--Sanfy talk  08:40, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

This article is about Goan Catholics who are adhere to Roman Catholicism and not Protestant religion,and since past 470 years they have been known only as Cristãos by common people.Protestants are very new to Goa afaik,and i guess there number is not so significant either!so you can even mention about the recent converts,there is no harm in that,because you have already mentioned about there Hindu roots!

Nijgoykar (talk) 11:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

But it is necessary to mention the Hindu roots as the were their ancestors, as for Goan Protestants I don't have ample information about the topic, otherwise I would mention about them. If you have any information please add so. But remember add only about Goan Catholics who converted to Roman Catholics. Regarding Goenche Kristanv or Katholik, I think we should approach User:Deepak D'Souza, he has good knowledge about Wikipedia. --Sanfy talk 13:00, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't get the point, it very clear that the article is about the Catholics and not the entire Christian communuity and hence Goenche Katholik is apropriate, adding Goenche Kristanv will be inaccuracy. The personal thing sems to be coming from you.

About Indo-Aryans
Hardly any Goans are Indo-Aryans.. most of them are Indo-Scythians.. Its just that they speak Indo-Aryan Languages! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nijgoykar (talk • contribs) 13:55, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Clarification

 * 1.How can converted Vaishyas be known as Gaudos?
 * 2.And how can ancestors of most of the catholic be GSBs,when GSBs is a minority community?

Nijgoykar (talk) 13:43, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * That's because the GSB's formed a large part of Goa's population prior to the Portugese invasion, and the Roman Catholic missionaries put a greater emphasis on converting them, since they were the most influential part of the population. Joyson Noel (talk) 12:13, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Then prove it,any brahmin caste in Goa,no matter Saraswats,Karhadas,Chitpavans,Kudaldeskars,Joshis,Daivadnyas for that matter ,have always been minority since ancient times.. justify!

Nijgoykar (talk) 20:39, 19 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the late response. I was inactive all the while and i've just bumped into your response. I must state that what i said earlier was true.


 * The GSB's did form a large part of the Goan population during the 16th century. The GSB's only became a tiny minority, because large numbers of them were converted or fled to other areas during the Portuguese drive for Christianization.


 * I'm not an expert on the Goan Catholics. So, i can't say for certain who the ancestors of most of the modern-day Goan Catholics were.


 * But it is a historical and verifiable fact that most of the Konkani speaking Canara Catholic population, who trace their origins to Goa have Brahmanical ancestry, most specifically GSB ancestry.


 * Please read Sarasvati's Children: A History of the Mangalorean Christians by Alan Machado Prabhu, The Christian Impact on South Kanara by Kranti Farias, History of Christianity in Canara by Severine Silva, Distinguished Mangalorean Catholics 1800-2000 - A Historico-Biographical Survey of the Mangalorean Catholic Community by Michael Lobo, for more info.

Goan Catholics aren't of Portuguese descent
To the guy who keeps inserting the common misconception that Goan Catholics are of Portuguese descent. Here are a few quotes by reputed historians and authorities on Goan history. Here are some additional online sources. (Please refer, "We are Indians by blood, but our culture is Indo-Portuguese".)
 * "Nothing is more erroneous than the common perception that all Goans have a considerable dose of Portuguese blood in their veins. The great majority are ethnically Indians, though their centuries-old adoption of the Roman Catholic religion, and of the Portuguese language and mores, together with their assumption of Portuguese names, have firmly ingrained them in the Portuguese cultural orbit." – C.R. Boxer, The Portuguese seaborne empire, 1415–1825, p. 200 (1969)
 * "The spread of Christianity in the Southern Konkan was not a caste levelling process. It simply conciliated old prejudices with new privileges. A converted Brahman became a Christian in faith alone, retaining all the social rights of Hinduism, and transmitting all caste prerogatives, untainted by any admixture of foreign or low caste blood, through generations to his current aristocratic posterity." – José Gerson da Cunha, The Konkani language and literature, p. 37 (1881)
 * "They gave support to Portuguese propagandists and their false allegation that Goan Christians were of mixed-blood." – Tristão de Bragança Cunha, Goa's freedom struggle: selected writings of T. B. Cunha, p. 355 (1961)
 * http://books.google.com/books?id=WIWZQMZA8yIC&pg=PA248#v=onepage&q&f=false
 * http://books.google.com/books?id=fWlMV5lVSpYC&pg=PA75#v=onepage&q&f=false
 * http://books.google.com/books?id=6L5MxlMIcG0C&pg=PA134#v=onepage&q&f=false
 * http://books.google.com/books?id=tdawAAAAIAAJ&q=Bamons+Brahmins&dq=Bamons+Brahmins&hl=en&ei=9wPJTtL8C6HY4QT1qPlI&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CFQQ6AEwCA
 * Furthermore, there is a separate entry on Luso-Indians. Goan Catholics are a related ethnic group. Joyson Noel  Holla at me!  21:10, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
