That's what Iam telling him ,many Goan who were forcefully converted were brahmins the already educated class,It is not that non-brahmins were not educated early,but they took education only if required for bread earning.Even muslim ruler though never build any universities ,but infact destroyed many,they also gave madarsa litracy in persian for the desiered.But taking education by paying taxes,portugese took heavy taxes from hindus and eve christains(let say even free education)does not mean ,the people who took the education,become automatically obliged to convert.I know many christain feel it is their birth right to set up educational institute(subsidied by tax payer),and they really feel people studying their haave moral obligation to convert.May be that's why the arch bishop of chennai asked catholic to study only in catholic schools (not in governemnt school or protestent school).
