Timeline of Persecution of Hindus

So it begins

Portuguese Inquisition

The setting up of the Goa Inquisition was requested by Jesuit missionary Francis Xavier; from its beginning in 1561 and its temporary abolition in 1774, at least 16,202 Hindus were brought to trial (tortured and possibly murdered) by the Inquisition--many of these were Hindus taken as slaves. Almost all of the Goa Inquisition's records were burnt by the Portuguese when the inquisition was abolished in 1820. At least 121 Hindus are recorded as murdered in the remaining records. Hindus under Portuguese were not given religious freedom, and were tortured into conversion, their temples destroyed, the women raped and abused.

Slave Trade by Dutch East India Company

The Vereenigde Nederlandsche Oost Indische Compagnie or VOC, also known as the Dutch East India Company, came to India to establish trade routes from the Indian subcontinent. But their trade was not limited to spices and silks; an important part of their presence was slave trade from India. VOC bought slaves in Bengal, Cochin and Ceylon, taking them to Cape Town. As per a study: "The number of slaves at the Cape rose from nearly 1000 around 1688 to 3000 at the beginning of the 1720s. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, the enslaved population had risen to more than 15,000 in Cape Town and the rural hinterland." At least 40% of these slaves were from the Indian subcontinent, mostly Hindus. Many of them were under-age boys and women, who were bought for cheap labour, and treated in sub-human ways.

Between 1772 and 1833, debates in the British Parliament recorded the volume of slavery in India. A thriving slave trade existed all over India, and the Company permitted slave ownership to be registered, for a fee of ₹4.25. Britons could "export" slaves to other European colonies, even after abolishing of slavery within Britain. As of 1830, this was the breakup of number of slaves, mostly Hindus, in different provinces: Malabar: 147K Malabar & Wayanad: 100K Canara, Coorg, Wynad, Cochin, and Travancore: 254K Tinnevelly (Tirunelveli): 324K Trichinopoly: 10,600; Arcot: 20,000; Canara: 80,000; Assam: 11,300; Surat: 3000; Ceylon (Sri Lanka): 27,397; Penang: 3000; Sylhet and Buckergunge (Bakerganj): 80K; Behar: 22,722; Tizhoot: 11,061; Southern Mahratta Country: 7,500 A total of 1.21 million Hindus were held as slaves.

First War of Indian Independence, 1857

In the First War of Indian Independence, trivialized as The Revolt of 1857, unspeakable atrocities were committed by British in India as a way to teach the natives a lesson for trying to send them back whence they came from. Although atrocities were committed against Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims, the nature of the atrocities included violation of religious beliefs and cultural genocide of Hindus, including murder and rape. Atrocities included force-feeding beef to Hindus, forcing the natives to lick walls stained with fresh blood from killings, public hangings, blowing up the natives from canons (tying them to the mouth of a canon so they would be blown to pieces when the canon was fired), torching them, dipping natives in wells till they half suffocate, putting red chillies in the eyes and private parts of men and women, sexual violence against women and a lot more. The torture was as an act of revenge as well as to teach them a lesson. The British adopted a policy of “no prisoners.” Men who were captured were lined up and shot. The most shocking aspect of the “sepoy mutiny” as the British call it, is that there are no official records of the death toll of natives during the conflicts of 1857-58. For an empire built on meticulous paperwork and extensive study of literature, it is impossible to believe that this is due to negligence. The lack of records itself is a red flag, and should alert anyone that the scale of British crimes was huge, and deliberately hidden. Estimates are that in the violent conflicts of 1857-58, at least one million natives, of which at least 85% were Hindus and Sikhs, were slaughtered by British imperialists.

Aftermath of 1857

Following the major armed conflict of 1857, the country witnessed scattered but consistent rebellions for the next decade, which were brutally quelled by the British empire. As per estimates, at least 10 Million natives, at least 90% of which were Hindus and Sikhs, were slaughtered in the decade that followed.
