I was there then and for many years after - back and forth between the Indian Union, Pakistan and Europe. I left finally in 1962! Now old and exiled, maybe forever. Goa is for its sons and daughters immortal, regardless of status, creed or political attachment. It is our very soul and we are all so very proud to be GOAN. Thank you for this memorable film of unforgettable days.

Smar dressing they're Portuguese the Indians were dressed as they were in elsewhere India and lived in houses and in living habits as in elsewhere in India.
It is about continuing to celebrate what makes Catholic Goans unique, our culture, dress, food, religion & relationship with Jesus, etc. Why are so many other cultures and people allowed to celebrate and cherish their heritage but Catholic Goans aren't?

@@vjszq4Portugal started the rulement of GOA, long before Índia was founded...first of all the portuguese were been invited by the Goans to be there and Portugal ruled GOA for over 450 years. India taked GOA by force, it was a huge injustice that was done to Portugal and the people of Goa. Unfortunately, Nato did not want to defend the rights of Portugal, one of the countries that founded the transatlan tic alliance (Nato).
I first visited Goa in 1978 as a fifteen year old. The Portuguese influence was still very evident.... I think we have done badly in not preserving the essence of Goa
Having a colonial past is one thing, but what about the culture that was supressed by the colonizers for 100s of yesrs , we need to bring it back too. This is the very essence of decolonization, isn't it?

Well, you wrong. According to the 2021 data, Sikkim has the highest GDP per capita. Goa isn't even in the top 10 states. Kerala has the highest HDI and literacy in India. Goa might have been in the past but now it's lagging behind other Indian States
There are no original Goans left. All sold their anchesters land and are settle in foreign. It's all now corrupted, state n also people are dirty. It's loosing it's charm.
Quando vi estas imagens de 1952 lembrei me da minha infância, tinha nesta altura 11 anos, nesta altura nunca pensei que 1962 iria ser prisioneiro de Guerra, perdi muita coisa nesta altura, nesta altura tive uma rica vida. Se não fosse a invasão ainda hoje estaria na minha terra natal, mas não perferi perder a nacionalidade portuguesa, e assim estou em Portugal com muito orgulho de ser goes com nacionalidade portuguesa que nunca perdi.

Não há dúvida nenhuma que o regime Salazarista atrasou bastante a evolução da minha terra natal,se não reparam desde o ano 1962 a evolução que houve até hoje e que continua a haver, Goa evoluio bastante.

As a native Goan, I can honestly say: The Portuguese rule was the best thing to ever happen to my land. Viva Goa. Viva Portugal. 🇵🇹 Gobarbhakts can cry here 👇🏻
If Portuguese would have continued ruling most of businesses would be in their hands and locals would be getting peanuts. Goa might have become like Macau full of casinos but shod be I control.
Bt what I like is how clean and manner of construction of buildings were done.just like in Europe everything is breathtaking.we cnt do something like that.ours would be completely different
Anyway most businesses now are owned by non Goans who think that they are inherently greater than Goans and this also includes those who come here to work in the manual labor sector.
The Portuguese era brought both good and bad to Goa... Anyway we should focus on the future but outside forces are attempting to disrupt especially the communal harmony in Goa.
Goa was taken from the Muslim ruler Ismail Adil Shah by Albuquerque. Goa has been with the Portuguese since 25 November 1510. The Republic of India came into existence on 15 August 1947. Goa was then invaded by The Republic of India was in 18-19 December 1961. Goa did not have a referendum. Example of Portugal: In 1976, Lisbon redefined Macau as a "Chinese territory under Portuguese administration" and granted it a large measure of administrative, financial, and economic autonomy. This wasn't the case with Goa.Three years later, Portugal and China agreed to regard Macau as "a Chinese territory under (temporary) Portuguese administration".The Chinese and Portuguese governments commenced negotiations on the question of Macau in June 1986. The two signed a Sino-Portuguese Joint Declaration, making Macau a special administrative region (SAR) of China.This is a grave injustice to the Goan folk not having any measure of administrative, financial, and economic autonomy. Examples of India: • In 1947, four princely states - the Nizamate of Hyderabad, the Nawabates of Junagadh, Mangrol and Manavadar - were invaded by Bharat, their rulers unseated and plebiscites held, by which the peoples of those states voted to be integrated into Bharat. • In 1954, a plebiscite was held in French India. • There was no POPULAR VOTE, REFERUNDUM OR PLEBISCITE by which the Goans decided that they wanted to be integrated into Bharat! • In 1975, a plebiscite was held in the invaded and occupied Kingdom of Sikkim, wherein the foreigners, Nepalese citizens settled there, voted to merge the Kingdom into Bharat! Now please help me understand: PROVE that there was any LEGAL POPULAR MECHANISM - Plebiscite or Referendum, (in keeping with, for example, the UN Resolutions to which Bharat is party), whereby the citizens of Portuguese India had freely chosen to have Goa integrated into Bharat OR admit that. Prove that the Chavan-Soares Treaty of 1974, which was signed by Mario Soares, a Communist bandit who represented NO legal or elected Portuguese government, and moreover, that did not CONSULT the Goan citizenry, constituted a legal transfer of Portuguese India to Bharat. Prove the moral and legal basis of Bharat's claim to Goa both before and after its occupation, OR admit that there is in fact none. Would it be right to say under Indian sovereignty, India is swallowing Goa. Under India, indigenous Goans are getting into extinction. Under Indian supremacy, Goa is getting de-goanised thereby losing its culture and tradition. Under India, Goa is losing its Goan soul. There are many Goans settled in Portugal and the world over who have great love for their beloved Goa. António Luís Santos da Costa, (born 17 July 1961) is a Portuguese lawyer and the Prime Minister of Portugal, in office since 26 November 2015. He is of Goan origin Portuguese from Margao. These Goans must make this as one of the election issues to put pressure on the government to think againof Goa and the woes Goans face under India because Portugal gave Goa to India on silver platter. Likewise, Goa lover Goans spread in other parts of the globe however small in number they may be, must submit a memorandum to Portuguese government thru the Portuguese Embassies in their respective countries. In Goa there is a big number of Goans who think in a similar manner and they must submit a memorandum to Portuguese Consulate in Panjim to convey their grievances to Portuguese government in Lisbon. In this way we must keep our issue alive and moving before it is totally forgotten.
We did not give, it was taken away. We did not have any way to fight off the Indian army and England, which is under Treaty to help us, never did, so if anything, blame the English! Losing Goa was like loosing a limb! It was our beautiful little gem, Portuguese loved Goa and still do to this day. ,I visted twice, and seeing what Goa used to be and what it became, is very sad!
You are absolutely correct, ALL get United & Kick out all Marathi speaking ghati`s out before it's too late, they are same whore's breed who ruined whole of Goa, example is C.M Parrikar a ghati of solapur Maharashtra Devaadasi breed, who has jeopardize everything in Goa,
Life is never fair, not now and surely not 500 years back. It's called as to come full circle. Under Portuguese rule, some minority enjoyed privileges while majority was persecuted. Now it's their time. So, don't preach about hypothetical injustice. Get adapted. Stop whining.
@@cg8397 ! Slaves always speak like that. What you had in past was for portuguese not you local slaves who were at the bottom serving them. Now whatever you had is yours and you're not slave but you slave mindset remains. Just peep and look towards your past and feel how it was.
Even though the sights and sounds of this Goa show a time of peace and beauty. I can't ignore the suffering endured by Goans at the hands of the Portuguese colonialists and more by the church:(
The Portugese should have better maintained Goa.Even at the time of liberation,the electricity was rare barrring a couple of towns.No better roads and transportation was there.Even the churches were not maintainer properly let alone historical.monuments.See the arch of the Viceroy.It is very evident.Even that waa not maintained.The gate of AdilShah palace was kept at another place not maintained.Even the first church of Goa,the Church of St.Catherine was kept on poor form.
@@br3menPTEven this video,prior to the rennovation of the the arch of victory,it is evident that it had not been maintained properly.I do not know in what way Goa had better infrastructure than the rest of the Indian subcontinent.No electricity for all,both roads and no growth.

Portuguese ruled Goa for more than 450 years. But ultimayely Indian govt got rid of them in1961.Now it is for Goans to how to lead their lives and what govt they give to themselves.
>the reason Portugal did not invoke Article 5 of the NATO Treaty (the article about collective defense) is because it could not, per Article 6 Just to add some detail, because this makes it sound like a very clear cut legal point. The real situation was murkier. India opened its diplomatic mission in Portugal in 1948, the year after independence, and since that time had been negotiating with Portugal to end their colonial rule of Goa. Portugal absolutely refused to discuss the issue, claiming that Goa/Daman/Dadra/Nagar Haveli were integral parts of Portugal. In July 1950, the Portuguese Government sent a formal notice to India, saying that the question of independence "could not be discussed," and any Indian proposals for independence or autonomy were not negotiable. India persisted, and sent several more petitions to the Portuguese government asking to open negotiations on the subject of Portugal's colonies on the Indian subcontinent. In 1953, they sent a detailed *aide memoire* assuring the Portuguese that if they gave up their colony, India would maintain the rights, culture, language and customs of the Goan people and make absolutely no changes, except through their consent. The Portuguese government did not respond, and from that point on began ignoring all Indian diplomatic communications. The Indian mission chief tried several times to get appointments to speak with his counterparts in Lisbon, but he was refused. Eventually, India decided that its Portuguese mission was doing no good, since they weren't allowed to talk to any Portuguese officials, and closed down the mission in June 1953. Diplomatic relations did not resume until 20 years later. When diplomatic communications with Portugal failed, India began raising the Goan issue at the UN, which was more or less in favor of decolonization. This raised concern in Portugal, which began to lobby its own allies (mainly NATO) for support. While what you say about Goa not being under the purview of Article 5 is correct, this did not stop Portugal from raising the issue at NATO. In 1951, they explicitly amended their constitution to name their Indian colonies as integral overseas parts of Portugal. They continued to lobby the US, UK and France to support their position. It was actually the UK that put its foot down on the NATO issue, when their Foreign Secretary Douglas-Home explicitly told the Portuguese government that the Indian colonies were not a NATO issue, and they should not expect any help from the UK. The US was more ambiguous. While their stated policy was in favor of decolonization, **not once did the US ever suggest independence or self-determination for Goa**. In practice, their policy was "decolonization, but not for Goa". Not because they cared about Goa, but because that would put Portugal's two big colonies (Angola and Mozambique) at risk of demanding independence too, and that would hurt US-Portuguese relations, and therefore NATO. Since they couldn't afford to antagonize Portugal, the US put diplomatic pressure on India to "settle the matter peacefully and through consensus", and not resort to fighting. The Indian government responded by saying that they had been looking for a peaceful solution ever since they opened diplomatic relations with Portugal in 1948, but Portugal was unwilling to even discuss the issue. How can you negotiate with someone who ignores all written communications, refuses to talk to your diplomatic personnel? Nehru told US ambassador John Galbraith that if the US was really serious about a "peaceful solution", could they at least ask Portugal to talk to India. The reason this became urgent was because of what happened to Dadra and Nagar Haveli, two (much smaller) Portuguese colonies in India. These were tiny enclaves, where local *satyagrahis* launched a violent protest and drove Portuguese officers out. India promptly banned visas for Portuguese travel between their colonies, so Portugal was unable to reinforce them with troops from Goa. This incident told other countries that India was serious about removing the Portuguese presence, and more importantly, it gave new heart to the Goan independence movements. Mass protests against the Portuguese (which had diminished in the early 50's) were reinvigorated, and there were many protests in Goa in which thousands of people marched for independence. This made the Portuguese even more nervous, which caused them to react violently. There were a few cases where Portuguese troops opened fire on the protestors, killing dozens. One particular incident was witnessed by international journalists, which also swayed international opinion against Portugal. Meanwhile, India had built its own lobby at the UN, mostly with other former colonies, insisting that Portugal leave Goa. In the aftermath, there was a lot of recrimination, mostly from the US, which demanded that Indian troops should immediately leave Goa unconditionally. As you say, they tried to get military support to enforce this at the UN Security Council, but that was vetoed by the USSR.
The question was..Goa was not a colony.....fake riots for Goa´s independence payed by Indian Union....the world knew there was no problem in Goa..the problem was Indian Union ambition..India did the same with other regions in the subcontinent and even tried to occupied Sri Lanka....You just wanted to be the new colonial empire in indian subcontinene you thought you´re the new England empire in indian subcontinent you wanted everything for you!

The portuguese were the 1st europeans to arrive in India in 1498 . The brits only started to colonize some parts of India in the 17th century after Portugal deliver Bombay as a wedding present to the King of England that married the Portuguese princess Catarina of Braganza. After centuries the british took over all of India except the portuguese territories of Goa ,Daman , Diu and the enclaves of Dadrá and Nagar-Aveli.,that remained under Portuguese soverangnity untill 1961.
Thank you Portuguese for keeping Goa from Islam untill Republic India took over.

@@shehrozrajput9174yes, but there was no appeasement. On the contrary there was plenty of appeasement for high castes of both communities. These black Portuguese were the greatest enemies as compared to the colonists of the less privileged, that's why many had to take shelter in different parts of the world, particularly British India to earn their bread.
@@socialbutterfly1344inquisition like casteism was the work of those who hijacked religion for their personal benefits., and now in Goa they use both " Casteism and Inquisition " to gain political mileage, by driving a wedge of hatred amongst the communities.
Voltaire wrote on the Portuguese Inquisition in Goa- Quote ” Goa est malheureusement célèbre par son inquisition , également contraire à l'humanité et au commerce. Les moines portugais firent accroire que le peuple adorait le diable , et ce sont eux qui l'ont servi. (Goa is sadly famous for its inquisition, equally contrary to humanity and commerce. The Portuguese monks made us believe that the people worshiped the devil, and it is they who have served him.)”. When India became independent in 1947, Goa remained under Portuguese control. The Indian government of Nehru insisted that Goa, along with a few other minor Portuguese holdings, be turned over to India. Portugal, however, refused. France, which also had small enclaves in India ( Pondicherry ), gave them up. On December 16, 1961, Indian troops crossed the border into Goa. Code named " Operation Vijay ', the move involved sustained land, sea, and air strikes for more than 36 hours; it resulted in the unconditional surrender of Portuguese forces on 19 December. A United Nations resolution condemning the invasion was proposed by the United States and the United Kingdom in the United Nations Security Council, but it was vetoed by the USSR. (❤RUSSIA❤) Despite this Portugal tried sending their Navy ( with blessings of USA and UK ) -and President Nasser of Egypt promptly shut the Suez Canal. Indians have still NOT forgotten such favours. Even today the mother language of Konkani binds all the people of Goa. Today india is the one of the most powerful country in this world and Indian nuclear missiles will reach Portugal.
These Portugese and British imperialist are still living in their colonial hangover. They want to use the resources and labours of the natives and treat them as slave, so that they can live like the Kings & Queens.

Só pode ser piada😂😂😂😂😂😂. Dá para ver no filme , como era difícil viver em Goa ! 🤣🤣🤣
Funny how in 10 more short years, 451 years of forced colonial rule would come crashing down. The Portuguese really screwed themselves by avoiding the issue...they might have been able to withdraw with dignity instead of being forcefully booted out and looking weak and outdated. I still wonder if there could have been a dual management of Goa at least for a few years with some token Portuguese’s presence for cultural and historic purposes.

A fama de Santo, o “Santo de Goa”, tinha chegado a toda a parte, as suas virtudes eram exaltadas.

A recebê-lo, numa impressionante manifestação de Fé, estão o Vice-Rei, o Clero, a Nobreza e o imenso Povo. Foi e é muito amado em Goa, antiga colonia Portuguesa.
It is nothing great that which the Portuguese have done. Rich Europeans quashed, inquested and slutified the poor province of Goa. They should've oppressed us much more and much earlier, perhaps we would've revolted in arms and been free much earlier. We were better treated by the monarchs of Bijapur and Vijaynagara. BECAUSE A GOAN IS THE FOLLOWING: RACE - DRAVIDIAN, CULTURE - GOAN, ETHNICITY - INDIAN. 450 Years of oppression did not add the word Portuguese anywhere in the Goan's social fabric.

Well, you wrong. According to the 2021 data, Sikkim has the highest GDP per capita. Goa isn't even in the top 10 states. Kerala has the highest HDI and literacy in India. Goa might have been in the past but now it's lagging behind other Indian States
There are no original Goans left. All sold their anchesters land and are settle in foreign. It's all now corrupted, state n also people are dirty. It's loosing it's charm.

Quando vi estas imagens de 1952 lembrei me da minha infância, tinha nesta altura 11 anos, nesta altura nunca pensei que 1962 iria ser prisioneiro de Guerra, perdi muita coisa nesta altura, nesta altura tive uma rica vida. Se não fosse a invasão ainda hoje estaria na minha terra natal, mas não perferi perder a nacionalidade portuguesa, e assim estou em Portugal com muito orgulho de ser goes com nacionalidade portuguesa que nunca perdi.
Eu tambem! I was also 11 years old in 1952 and left Goa soon after 1961 and am living in England wih the nationality of my birth - Portuguese and the nationality of my husband - English.I will never return to our Paradise homeland but saudades will always remain with me.

The Portuguese era brought both good and bad to Goa... Anyway we should focus on the future but outside forces are attempting to disrupt especially the communal harmony in Goa.
Goa was taken from the Muslim ruler Ismail Adil Shah by Albuquerque. Goa has been with the Portuguese since 25 November 1510. The Republic of India came into existence on 15 August 1947. Goa was then invaded by The Republic of India was in 18-19 December 1961. Goa did not have a referendum.
Example of Portugal:
In 1976, Lisbon redefined Macau as a "Chinese territory under Portuguese administration" and granted it a large measure of administrative, financial, and economic autonomy. This wasn't the case with Goa.Three years later, Portugal and China agreed to regard Macau as "a Chinese territory under (temporary) Portuguese administration".The Chinese and Portuguese governments commenced negotiations on the question of Macau in June 1986. The two signed a Sino-Portuguese Joint Declaration, making Macau a special administrative region (SAR) of China.This is a grave injustice to the Goan folk not having any measure of administrative, financial, and economic autonomy.
Examples of India:
• In 1947, four princely states - the Nizamate of Hyderabad, the Nawabates of Junagadh, Mangrol and Manavadar - were invaded by Bharat, their rulers unseated and plebiscites held, by which the peoples of those states voted to be integrated into Bharat.
• In 1954, a plebiscite was held in French India.
• There was no POPULAR VOTE, REFERUNDUM OR PLEBISCITE by which the Goans decided that they wanted to be integrated into Bharat!
• In 1975, a plebiscite was held in the invaded and occupied Kingdom of Sikkim, wherein the foreigners, Nepalese citizens settled there, voted to merge the Kingdom into Bharat!
Now please help me understand:
PROVE that there was any LEGAL POPULAR MECHANISM - Plebiscite or Referendum, (in keeping with, for example, the UN Resolutions to which Bharat is party), whereby the citizens of Portuguese India had freely chosen to have Goa integrated into Bharat OR admit that.
Prove that the Chavan-Soares Treaty of 1974, which was signed by Mario Soares, a Communist bandit who represented NO legal or elected Portuguese government, and moreover, that did not CONSULT the Goan citizenry, constituted a legal transfer of Portuguese India to Bharat.
Prove the moral and legal basis of Bharat's claim to Goa both before and after its occupation, OR admit that there is in fact none.
Would it be right to say under Indian sovereignty, India is swallowing Goa. Under India, indigenous Goans are getting into extinction. Under Indian supremacy, Goa is getting de-goanised thereby losing its culture and tradition. Under India, Goa is losing its Goan soul. There are many Goans settled in Portugal and the world over who have great love for their beloved Goa. António Luís Santos da Costa, (born 17 July 1961) is a Portuguese lawyer and the Prime Minister of Portugal, in office since 26 November 2015. He is of Goan origin Portuguese from Margao. These Goans must make this as one of the election issues to put pressure on the government to think againof Goa and the woes Goans face under India because Portugal gave Goa to
India on silver platter. Likewise, Goa lover Goans spread in other parts of the globe however small in number they may be, must submit a memorandum to Portuguese government thru the Portuguese Embassies in their respective countries. In Goa there is a big number of Goans who think in a similar manner and they must submit a memorandum to Portuguese Consulate in Panjim to convey their grievances to Portuguese government in Lisbon. In this way we must keep our issue alive and moving before it is totally forgotten.
We did not give, it was taken away. We did not have any way to fight off the Indian army and England, which is under Treaty to help us, never did, so if anything, blame the English! Losing Goa was like loosing a limb! It was our beautiful little gem, Portuguese loved Goa and still do to this day. ,I visted twice, and seeing what Goa used to be and what it became, is very sad!

Life is never fair, not now and surely not 500 years back. It's called as to come full circle. Under Portuguese rule, some minority enjoyed privileges while majority was persecuted. Now it's their time. So, don't preach about hypothetical injustice. Get adapted. Stop whining.

Even though the sights and sounds of this Goa show a time of peace and beauty. I can't ignore the suffering endured by Goans at the hands of the Portuguese colonialists and more by the church:(
The Portugese should have better maintained Goa.Even at the time of liberation,the electricity was rare barrring a couple of towns.No better roads and transportation was there.Even the churches were not maintainer properly let alone historical.monuments.See the arch of the Viceroy.It is very evident.Even that waa not maintained.The gate of AdilShah palace was kept at another place not maintained.Even the first church of Goa,the Church of St.Catherine was kept on poor form.

Goa is no more Goa.
Portuguese ruled Goa for more than 450 years. But ultimayely Indian govt got rid of them in1961.Now it is for Goans to how to lead their lives and what govt they give to themselves.
>the reason Portugal did not invoke Article 5 of the NATO Treaty (the article about collective defense) is because it could not, per Article 6
Just to add some detail, because this makes it sound like a very clear cut legal point. The real situation was murkier.
India opened its diplomatic mission in Portugal in 1948, the year after independence, and since that time had been negotiating with Portugal to end their colonial rule of Goa. Portugal absolutely refused to discuss the issue, claiming that Goa/Daman/Dadra/Nagar Haveli were integral parts of Portugal. In July 1950, the Portuguese Government sent a formal notice to India, saying that the question of independence "could not be discussed," and any Indian proposals for independence or autonomy were not negotiable.
India persisted, and sent several more petitions to the Portuguese government asking to open negotiations on the subject of Portugal's colonies on the Indian subcontinent. In 1953, they sent a detailed *aide memoire* assuring the Portuguese that if they gave up their colony, India would maintain the rights, culture, language and customs of the Goan people and make absolutely no changes, except through their consent.
The Portuguese government did not respond, and from that point on began ignoring all Indian diplomatic communications. The Indian mission chief tried several times to get appointments to speak with his counterparts in Lisbon, but he was refused. Eventually, India decided that its Portuguese mission was doing no good, since they weren't allowed to talk to any Portuguese officials, and closed down the mission in June 1953. Diplomatic relations did not resume until 20 years later.
When diplomatic communications with Portugal failed, India began raising the Goan issue at the UN, which was more or less in favor of decolonization. This raised concern in Portugal, which began to lobby its own allies (mainly NATO) for support. While what you say about Goa not being under the purview of Article 5 is correct, this did not stop Portugal from raising the issue at NATO. In 1951, they explicitly amended their constitution to name their Indian colonies as integral overseas parts of Portugal. They continued to lobby the US, UK and France to support their position.
It was actually the UK that put its foot down on the NATO issue, when their Foreign Secretary Douglas-Home explicitly told the Portuguese government that the Indian colonies were not a NATO issue, and they should not expect any help from the UK.
The US was more ambiguous. While their stated policy was in favor of decolonization, **not once did the US ever suggest independence or self-determination for Goa**. In practice, their policy was "decolonization, but not for Goa". Not because they cared about Goa, but because that would put Portugal's two big colonies (Angola and Mozambique) at risk of demanding independence too, and that would hurt US-Portuguese relations, and therefore NATO.
Since they couldn't afford to antagonize Portugal, the US put diplomatic pressure on India to "settle the matter peacefully and through consensus", and not resort to fighting. The Indian government responded by saying that they had been looking for a peaceful solution ever since they opened diplomatic relations with Portugal in 1948, but Portugal was unwilling to even discuss the issue. How can you negotiate with someone who ignores all written communications, refuses to talk to your diplomatic personnel? Nehru told US ambassador John Galbraith that if the US was really serious about a "peaceful solution", could they at least ask Portugal to talk to India.
The reason this became urgent was because of what happened to Dadra and Nagar Haveli, two (much smaller) Portuguese colonies in India. These were tiny enclaves, where local *satyagrahis* launched a violent protest and drove Portuguese officers out. India promptly banned visas for Portuguese travel between their colonies, so Portugal was unable to reinforce them with troops from Goa. This incident told other countries that India was serious about removing the Portuguese presence, and more importantly, it gave new heart to the Goan independence movements. Mass protests against the Portuguese (which had diminished in the early 50's) were reinvigorated, and there were many protests in Goa in which thousands of people marched for independence.
This made the Portuguese even more nervous, which caused them to react violently. There were a few cases where Portuguese troops opened fire on the protestors, killing dozens. One particular incident was witnessed by international journalists, which also swayed international opinion against Portugal. Meanwhile, India had built its own lobby at the UN, mostly with other former colonies, insisting that Portugal leave Goa.
In the aftermath, there was a lot of recrimination, mostly from the US, which demanded that Indian troops should immediately leave Goa unconditionally. As you say, they tried to get military support to enforce this at the UN Security Council, but that was vetoed by the USSR.
The question was..Goa was not a colony.....fake riots for Goa´s independence payed by Indian Union....the world knew there was no problem in Goa..the problem was Indian Union ambition..India did the same with other regions in the subcontinent and even tried to occupied Sri Lanka....You just wanted to be the new colonial empire in indian subcontinene you thought you´re the new England empire in indian subcontinent you wanted everything for you!

I thought the British ruled India.
The portuguese were the 1st europeans to arrive in India in 1498 . The brits only started to colonize some parts of India in the 17th century after Portugal deliver Bombay as a wedding present to the King of England that married the Portuguese princess Catarina of Braganza. After centuries the british took over all of India except the portuguese territories of Goa ,Daman , Diu and the enclaves of Dadrá and Nagar-Aveli.,that remained under Portuguese soverangnity untill 1961.
Let’s talk about skittles
Thank you Portuguese for keeping Goa from Islam untill Republic India took over.
Individual Muslims are good and kind, but when they become majority many turn arrogant and make life unpleasant for non-Muslims.
Muslims and Hindus in Goa are fine people.

@@socialbutterfly1344inquisition like casteism was the work of those who hijacked religion for their personal benefits., and now in Goa they use both " Casteism and Inquisition " to gain political mileage, by driving a wedge of hatred amongst the communities.

Voltaire wrote on the Portuguese Inquisition in Goa- Quote ” Goa est malheureusement célèbre par son inquisition , également contraire à l'humanité et au commerce. Les moines portugais firent accroire que le peuple adorait le diable , et ce sont eux qui l'ont servi. (Goa is sadly famous for its inquisition, equally contrary to humanity and commerce. The Portuguese monks made us believe that the people worshiped the devil, and it is they who have served him.)”. When India became independent in 1947, Goa remained under Portuguese control. The Indian government of Nehru insisted that Goa, along with a few other minor Portuguese holdings, be turned over to India. Portugal, however, refused. France, which also had small enclaves in India ( Pondicherry ), gave them up. On December 16, 1961, Indian troops crossed the border into Goa. Code named " Operation Vijay ', the move involved sustained land, sea, and air strikes for more than 36 hours; it resulted in the unconditional surrender of Portuguese forces on 19 December. A United Nations resolution condemning the invasion was proposed by the United States and the United Kingdom in the United Nations Security Council, but it was vetoed by the USSR. (❤RUSSIA❤) Despite this Portugal tried sending their Navy ( with blessings of USA and UK ) -and President Nasser of Egypt promptly shut the Suez Canal. Indians have still NOT forgotten such favours. Even today the mother language of Konkani binds all the people of Goa. Today india is the one of the most powerful country in this world and Indian nuclear missiles will reach Portugal.
These Portugese and British imperialist are still living in their colonial hangover. They want to use the resources and labours of the natives and treat them as slave, so that they can live like the Kings & Queens.
Indeed Goans successfully overthrew the colonial oppressors and got united with their motherland, breaking the chains of slavery.

Funny how in 10 more short years, 451 years of forced colonial rule would come crashing down. The Portuguese really screwed themselves by avoiding the issue...they might have been able to withdraw with dignity instead of being forcefully booted out and looking weak and outdated. I still wonder if there could have been a dual management of Goa at least for a few years with some token Portuguese’s presence for cultural and historic purposes.
More like Goans screwed themselves by not beating up the post-1961 immigrant flood from other states and insisting on Special Status like Kashmir.
True.... Goans successfully overthrew the colonial oppressors and got united with their motherland, breaking the chains of slavery.
@@Bumble-Be motherland ahahahahahahah India is a country since 1947....the majority of goans never wanted to be part of Indian Union..thats why Nerhu left his fake pacifism and invaded

Aqui os Brasileiros estão lixados como eu não percebem nada.Assim não criticam.kkkk. ..
O que tu não entendes? Vocês não conhecem a história, um erro enorme do ensino Brasileiro!
Tudo tem a ver com a morte do Francisco Xavier. Foi um missionário católico navarro, pioneiro e cofundador da Companhia de Jesus
Exemplo de humildade e de solidariedade cristã, de amor ao próximo e de evangélica pobreza, era venerado por milhões de pessoas de todas as condições sociais, de todas as idades, de todas as etnias. A fama de Santo, o “Santo de Goa”, tinha chegado a toda a parte, as suas virtudes eram exaltadas.
Em 17 de Fevereiro de 1553 o seu corpo é removido e levado para Malaca e daqui para Goa, onde chega a 16 de Março de 1554. A recebê-lo, numa impressionante manifestação de Fé, estão o Vice-Rei, o Clero, a Nobreza e o imenso Povo.
Foi e é muito amado em Goa, antiga colonia Portuguesa.
Poooooortooooooo
Jai shree Ram..

It is nothing great that which the Portuguese have done. Rich Europeans quashed, inquested and slutified the poor province of Goa. They should've oppressed us much more and much earlier, perhaps we would've revolted in arms and been free much earlier. We were better treated by the monarchs of Bijapur and Vijaynagara. BECAUSE A GOAN IS THE FOLLOWING: RACE - DRAVIDIAN, CULTURE - GOAN, ETHNICITY - INDIAN. 450 Years of oppression did not add the word Portuguese anywhere in the Goan's social fabric.
You really are silly and the average Modi Bhakt one usually sees... I just read another foolish comment of yours and replied to it. Seriously take that advice and start reading about Goa's history. Anyway I doubt information will do someone like you a lot of good because to begin with you lack basic common sense. 😂
@@A_Goanpatrao read some histrory and then talk. Your father was silly to procreate you.
@@A_Goan Only a gloated ass like you will put people in modi basket just because you refuse to accept your history and are now enjoying your Portuguese passport. To you all those who equate attrocity to the paklo are modi bhakt? What a dual (citizenship) fodo you are.
@@A_Goan half bred and half read.
@@A_GoanPortuguese Passport will bias your conceited opinion on the attrocity of the regime. Call yourself a true bakt who did nothing but gloated on the benefits by skipping the pages of Portuguese oppression. Think about this when you coordinate cargo at Heathrow, everyone one who opposes your Portuguese duality is not a modi bakt but an Indian at core who fought on the Loc, unlike you who washes european dishes.
not 1952 (the lost India in British government 1947
GOA was not BRiTiSH lNDlA but PORTUGUESE lNDlA.
India 1947 but goa 1961
My dear Ravi.. Indian troops took over GOA from Portuguese against the wishes of GOAN people in 1952. Maybe the reason is because of Daman and Diu
@@caetanopedrosa6437 ...... True and i love it they kicked Portuguese ass... properly .. viva
