    India like the rest of the world has always found lovers drawn passionately to each other in spite of societys customs, preferences, and barriers. Marriage in sixteenth century India was customarily regarded as one of family arrangement, not of lovers choice or exciting romance. By the 1500s, when Muslims had conquered large areas of the country, love across the lines of the major religions was considered an even greater threat to traditional marriage, Hindu or Muslim. Portugals colony of Goa and its Christian religion, arriving between 1500 and 1520, raised the obstacles to romance even higher. A young adventurer from a Muslim state, for example from Bijapur on Indias broad southern plateau, might find his curiosity aroused by militant Christianitys Jesuit missionaries and dare to study under them in Goa. If that young Muslim were to meet a destitute Portuguese Christian girl and fall in love with her - indeed, find himself drawn into an astonishing romance - what would be the risks and penalties? Would the lovers be doomed to ostracism, or worse, by both their religious communities? The author has given the fated pair of lovers the names Aziz Ahmad Khan and Miralindo Bartolomeo, Aziz and Mira. The Persian Jesuit: A Romance of India in the Age of Akbar is their story.
