Quote:The Cuncolim Revolt (also termed the Cuncolim Martyrdom by the Roman Catholic Church [1]) was a massacre of Christian priests and civilians by members of the Hindu Gaoncar clan in Cuncolim, Goa on Monday, 25 July 1583, as a protest against attempts by the colonial Portuguese administration to demolish Hindu temples in the locality and forcibly convert the local population to Christianity.[2] Five Jesuit priests along with one European and 14 Indian Christians were killed in the incident. [3] The Portuguese government retaliated by summarily executing most of the leaders of the Gaoncar clan without trial, and destroying the economic infrastructure of Cuncolim. [4] The incident was the first show of defiance against the Portuguese by the local population since the conquest of Goa in 1510.[5]
