Human: What was the purpose of the Portuguese Inquisition in Goa? Assistant: 
The purpose of the Portuguese Inquisition in Goa was to prosecute Hindus and Muslims (non-converts) who broke prohibitions against the observance of Hindu or Muslim rites or interfered with Portuguese attempts to forcibly convert non-Christians to Catholicism. Hundreds of thousands of Hindus were forced to move out of Goa if they did not convert.
