send the so called body of (saint) Francis Xavier to portugal

The Issue

Francis “Saint” Xavier had called the inquisition upon Goa resulting in the brutal torture and killings of the ancestors of present day Catholics, Muslims and Hindus by the Portuguese. Preserving and venerating this body on Indian soil is a reminder of Xavier’s brutal inhuman crimes against our ancestors through his inquisition. Keeping Xavier’s body is a grave insult to the nation which always preached and practiced AHIMSA. We hereby petition the body to be sent back to Portugal or otherwise disposed of and this macabre exposition of the body be halted.
