Civil Law Studies
The glacier of Ancient Vedic wisdom flowed down the Himalayan Kailash and watered the Hindu philosophy. The Shrutis (that which was heard) and the Smritis (that which was remembered) reflected this Vedic wisdom. Thinkers and philosophers of the time expressed their thoughts in prosaic Dharmasutras and later on in more refined poetic Dharmashastras. The Smritkars followed with their own interpretation, symbolically represented by the Code of Manu. That jurisprudence was responsible for taking the country through the Golden pages of its history. With the British dominance, India was plunged in Common Law Jurisprudence, interwoven with Hindu Philosophy. The Midnight country awoke in 1947 to an ...

Jacob & Dulce
The Characters Of Jacob & Dulce And Their Families Were Introduced To The Public Of Goa Through The Pages Of Newspaper O Ultramar In A Series Of Sketches Published In The 1890S Under The Title Notas A Lapis Marginal Notes, The Author Employing The Nom De Guerre Of Gip. The Sketches Were Compiled Into A Book And First Published In 1896 As Jacob & Dulce. Gip Used The Scenes In The Plot To Criticise Goan Christian Society As Well As The Government Of The Day; No One Was Spared His Caustic Observations. Gip Used A Few Place Names That Coincided With Some In Margao, And It Was Assumed That The Town Of Breda Was Margao Itself And That The Characters Described Belonged To Well-Known Families Of That Town. A Second Edition Came Out In 1970 And There Were No Reprints Until The Third Edition In 1974 Which May Have Been Due To Coyness In Exposing The Past And The Existing Warts Of Goan Society As Well As The Erroneous Perception That The Work Was A Direct Attack On Known Goan Families.

Becoming Goan
Goa’s magnetism and its promise of a relaxed, almost bohemian lifestyle, have always attracted admirers and colonizers. Before the locals could make up their minds about such interlopers, Covid-19 brought hordes of them to town—Michelle Mendonça Bambawale was one of them. In June 2020, Michelle found herself moving to the 160-year-old house she had inherited in Siolim, a village in North Goa, with her human and canine family. Having never lived in Goa before, she couldn’t help but wonder if her Goan ancestry made her an insider or if she would forever remain an outsider. In this memoir, she confronts her complex relationship with her Goan Catholic heritage and explores themes of ident...

Hindu-Catholic Encounters in Goa
The state of Goa on India's southwest coast was once the capital of the Portuguese-Catholic empire in Asia. When Vasco Da Gama arrived in India in 1498, he mistook Hindus for Christians, but Jesuit missionaries soon declared war on the alleged idolatry of the Hindus. Today, Hindus and Catholics assert their own religious identities, but Hindu village gods and Catholic patron saints attract worship from members of both religious communities. Through fresh readings of early Portuguese sources and long-term ethnographic fieldwork, this study traces the history of Hindu-Catholic syncretism in Goa and reveals the complex role of religion at the intersection of colonialism and modernity.
