I thought that was a good idea, and do something similar - here! He (incidentally, he hails from Karnataka!) told me that his father (around 80 now) has a habit of visiting a place every week! Not only does he visit, but he tries to stay in that area and learn about its history. (You can see the details in Magnificent Maharashtra thread). We went for a one day (bike) trip to see some Buddhist Caves. To be very frank, this was just a inspiration from a colleague. Prabhuji, you have set a example of travel thread that goes into history of the places and people. As long as European horses were delivered exclusively to Vijayanagara, the Portuguese could get away with murdering the citizens of the same empire. The Portuguese continuously laid waste the entire western coast from Goa to Kochi emboldened by the concessions given to them rulers right from KDR and his descendents. Even now lots of Konkani families visit Goa once a year to worship at their original temple. It completely altered the demography along the region. As a result of this inquisition, the people of Konkon emigrated in great numbers, that explains the presence of Konkani speakers along the coast all the way to Kerala. There were public torture machines in the street which would stretch people limb to limb. This was the biggest trajedy caused by KDR’s gift of Goa to Portuguese. In this year also, and those following, the predatory excursions of the Portuguese were continued. The inhabitants of Goa and its dependencies were now forced to embrace Christianity, and on refusal or contumacy were imprisoned and tortured. In 1560 the See of Goa was elevated into an arch-bishopric, and the Inquisition, the horrors of which even excelled that of Spain, was established.
