The
people of Goa are as special as the land itself. Warm and friendly in
nature, the Goan people are known for the excellent hospitality they
accord to visiting guests. Despite successive invasions by alien forces,
the people of Goa have managed to retain their unique identity.As far as demographics are concerned, 65% of the population are Hindus while Christians constitute 30%. Christianity in Goa is a legacy of the Portuguese rule when thousands of Goans were forcefully converted as part of the infamous Inquisition. All these atrocities notwithstanding, over the years the people of Goa have peacefully co-existed in a glorious manifestation of religious harmony.
Irrespective of religious affiliations, the Goan people have carved a unique character that oozes oodles of charm. They are a bunch of happy-go-lucky people with a smiling disposition and pleasant manners.
