Drawing on the historical experiences of a bicultural society in Goa, a former Portuguese state on the western coast of India, this article describes how the exchange between two groups with conflicting and contrasting cultures, Hindus and Christians, continued to persist and grow for more than four centuries. The Goan acculturation took place in three stages. A relatively peaceful co-existence of the two groups, lasting about 30 years, was followed by almost 200 years of both Christianization and ‘westernization’ as well attempts to eliminate the interaction between Hindus and Christians. These attempts were unsuccessful and eventually the discriminatory practices were outlawed. A skillful collective use of adaptive strategies led to the prevention and minimization of demoralization and the creation of a vibrant hybrid culture, the Indo-Portuguese culture of Goa
