This is what Portugese Administrator Tomé Pires wrote about the Goans of 16th century.
There are a great many heathens in this kingdom of Goa, more than in the kingdom of the Deccan.
Some are very honoured men with large fortunes & almost the whole kingdom lies in their hands, because they are natives, possess the land & pay the taxes.
Some are noblemen with many followers & lands of their own & are persons of great repute & wealthy & live on their estates.
They have beautiful temples of their own in this kingdom. They have Brahmans of many kinds.
There are some very honoured stock among these Brahmans. Some of them will not eat anything which has contained blood or anything prepared by the hand of another.
These Brahmans are greatly revered throughout the country, particularly among the heathen.
They are clever, prudent, learned in their religion. A Brahman would not become a Mohammedan even if he were made a king.

A tiny pair of feet, moving with infinite faith.🥰🥰
When innocence meets rhythm, it’s prayer in motion.
This is what bhakti looks like when it forgets age.

BREAKING: Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all.
They just memorize patterns really well.
Here's what Apple discovered:
(hint: we're not as close to AGI as the hype suggests)
Mandana Karimi chose India for her modelling and acting career. Because it's not possible in her home country, Iran. She got full support from Indians when she raised her voice against the Iranian regime's atrocities.
And this is how she paid back by calling India's retaliation against Pahalgam by naming it "Hidutva Fascism".
@MEAIndia@HMOIndia needs to identify all these refugee-celebrity and kick them out of country!
@XpressBees_IN Your Delivery Staff is not delivering shipments, and putting-in false reasons for non-delivery in your system, which make it seem like the Customers' fault. Online ticket raising also seems to have zero effect. How should we know if you intend to deliver at all !?
