But let's see, should the Hindu leaders apologize for Shivaji's destruction of Churchs in Bombay and Goa? Did the Pope apologise for the Goan inquisition?? Proof?
Who started the orgy of violence? I am sure Hindus didnt. When did the hindus burn Christians like the inquisition did to them? Links?
Maybe a Church - which was built over a temple - was made into a temple again. What about the Synagogue and the Jewish people?

The Pope apologised for the excesses of the inquisition -- throughout the world. That's good enough for something that happened 4 centuries ago, coupled with the solemn vows that it would never happen again.

There was no "orgy of violence" -- the Goan Hindu population has always been at least 60% of the overall population. There WAS persecution during the Inquisition, that's a fact, but no "orgy of violence". Also, Churches in Bombay were attacked by Marathas -- as retaliation. Should the Marathas apologize for somethign that happened 4 centuries ago? No. It was war and a different time and place. The acknowledgement that it happened and it should never happen again is good enough.
