,b.Albuquerque en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afonso_de_Albuquerque set about the creation of Portuguese Gao with zeal. This was the first territorial acquisition in Asia. To mark its permanency, within a fortnight he had ordered the establishment of a mind “to mint new currency, in the service of his Highness, in this his new realm. . . . . To announce its inception publicly, the new coinage was carried through the streets in silver basins to the sound of drums and pipes, accompanied by clowns and dancers and heralds proclaiming in Portuguese and the local language that “this was the new currency of the king our lord, who ordered that it should run in Goa and its territories.” ~ Page 233
. . . And also Albuquerque had promised religious freedom, he recoiled in horror at the practice of ‘Sutee” – the immolation of Hindu widows on their husband’s funeral pyres – and banned it. . . . . Page 233
