[edit] preoselytizing comment not needed here

There is a comment on proselytization and forced conversion by the Portugese which I have removed since these things end up being controversial. I have added a line on Dr. Orta. see article for details. Moroever repititive comments on forced conversion and proselytization and alluding to the fact that the natives were "converts" sounds out of place. Also, Portugal managed capture large sections of west coast of india, but not much in the east coast.

some minor rephrasing was also done.

[edit] Removed false info

The statement:

Nine Roman Catholic churches were built on Sashti island by the Portuguese: Nirmal (1557), Nossa Senhora dos Remédios (1557), Sandor (1566), Agashi (1568), Nandakal (1573), Papdy (1574), Pale (1595), Manickpur (1606), and Nossa Senhora das Mercês (1606)

is false, as these places are geographically located in the Vasai-Virar region and not on Sashti island. This false statement has therefore been removed.
