Conspiracy of the Pintos
Conspiracy of the Pintos, also known as the Pinto Revolt or the Pinto Conspiracy, and in Portuguese as Conjuração dos Pintos, was a rebellion against the Portuguese rule in Portuguese Goa in 1787. The leaders of the plot were three prominent priests from the village of Candolim in the concelho of Bardes, Goa. The highest-ranked leaders belonged to the Pinto clan of Candolim, hence the name of the rebellion. The Pintos were a Goan noble family and later vassals of Peshwa Baji Rao II in the Maratha Confederacy.
The history of Christianity of Candolim dates back to the conversion of Santu Sinay (Shenoy), a Brahmin ganvkar (Konkani: freeholder) who belonged to the nobility of his people. He was the progenitor of the noble revolutionary Pinto family. Due to the services he provided to the Crown he was given a perpetual grave in Our Lady of Hope Church in Candolim, Goa infront of the altar.
Santu Sinay (1577–1640), was the son of Naru Sinay; who had earlier migrated from Loutolim, Salcette, and established himself in Candolim, where he purchased the fifth vangodd (clan) of the comunidade on 13 August 1604. Naru Sinay died after 1624, and was survived by his wife, and three sons—Jeronimo de Souza, Santu Sinay, and Christovão d'Andrade. Santu Sinay was converted along with the rest of his family at the age of 8, and subsequently took the name of Salvador Pinto. His godfather was Fr. Manoel Pinto, a Franciscan rector of the Church of Our Lady of Hope of Candolim and the seminary of Reis Magos. He was brought up in the seminary of Reis Magos, where he developed a great devotion to St. Francis Xavier. Salvador Pinto was tutored by two Franciscan priests, Fr. Pinto and Fr. Simão de Nazareth; who succeeded the former as rector of Candolim parish.
On 2 April 1770 and 6 April 1770 respectively, the two brothers Antonio Joao Pinto of Arpora and Ignacio Pinto of Candolim were decorated with a Coat of arms and styled with the rank of Fidalgo. A fidalgo titled as a Lord is comparable in some ways to the French gentilhomme (the word also implies nobility by birth or by charge), and to the Italian nobile but having a higher rank to the British baronet as being a part of the aristocracy, not a commoner. On 17 March 1866 Alvaro Xavier Pinto, another member of the family was decorated as a Fidalgo of the Royal House.
P. Kamat writes that the protests of the various priests she studied for their non-submission to the Portuguese authority in Goa were by and large manifestations of personal grievances arising out of nepotism and class envy.
Dr. Celsa Pinto states that the American War of Independence influenced many Goans living in Lisbon.
José António and Caetano visited Rome and Portugal to plead for their appointment as Bishops in Southern India dioceses, but these Goan priests were bypassed in favour of the local South Indian clerics (e.g. Bishop Joseph Kariattil) for the appointment to the vacant sees of Cranganore and Mylapore. As a result of this refusal, they hatched the conspiracy along with Abbé Faria. They also managed to obtain the sympathy of similarly disaffected Christians in the Army and local clergy. The conspirators also negotiated secretly with Tippu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore, inviting him to rule Goa after they had thrown Goa into disorder.
The conspiracy was revealed by a Goan Catholic baker from Salcette to the authorities (the conspirators had approached him to poison the Army's bread supplies), thereby preventing invasion from the Muslim sultanate and similar ill-treatment of Goan Catholics as what was taking place during the Captivity of Mangalorean Catholics at Seringapatam.
