| Article Name : | | | INEQUALITIES IN A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE: A STUDY OF THE PORTUGUESE COLONIAL SOCIETY OF WESTERN COASTAL INDIA | | Author Name : | | | Jaya Priyadarshini | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | ROR-1438 | | Article : | |  | Author Profile | | Abstract : | | | Inequalities are an inescapable feature of any human society. The bases of such discriminations range from religion, sex, caste, creed to economic, political status, and the like. Such noted differences were remarkably etched in the Portuguese colonial society of western India in the seventeenth century. Since this society was mainly dominated by the ‘superior’ raced people born and brought up in Portugal, the margins of the aforementioned discrimination can be ably extended to include racism. Marked by such deep lines of divisions, this society saw its own contradictions which appropriately contributed in the slow but definite decline of the Portuguese empire in India. | | Keywords : | | - Human Society ,Human Society ,Human Society ,Human Society ,
