GOA PORTUGUÊSA /PORTUGUESE GOA - 1952 

The Serenity of Goa then is enchanting. It was the exposition year. It is nice to see the enthusiasm and fervour of the people and the smart dressing . It is a bygone era . viva Goa

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.

Very nice memories that can't come again. I love you Goa 🌹

Corrupt MLAs have destroyed Goa

I love this Era. Feels truly warmly nostalgic. Eyes felt with tears missing those good old days😢

One can almost feel the peace and tranquility that existed.A Goan can go out of Goa, but Goa can never go out of a Goan.

Portuguese GOA! Wish I could have experienced it ❤️

so grateful for your efforts to upload for public.

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.

My Goa ......i love you and miss you ....Roch

clean and green Goa

Mario Ferreira ......d videos showcasing Goa..of old times...iz truly treasure.....its priceless 2 c d few places how they looked in those dayz.....more beautiful nd scenic then wat its 2day......thnxxx a million...

Um grande filme feito pela RTVE televisão estatal de Espanha, não é propaganda é um país estrangeiro a filmar, e ainda hoje o estado de Goa é o mais limpo e o que tem um maior PIB per capita da Índia, são os reflexos da coligação portuguesa, num país enorme com tanta gente ser àquele pequeno estado com pouca população ser o mais rico da Índia, só quem não quer ver a verdade.

Truly nostalgic... I really wish to see the old Goa.. my mog for my goye will remain forever..

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

Old holy time ... Where God was the first in our lives.

Wonderful Goa

Nostalgia! Wish we could turn back the time.

Looks so peaceful, beautiful, tranquil .. thanks for sharing

Goa is still the shining star of the East.Viva Goa..... Thank you the great admiral Afonso De Albequerque and also Mr.Fradik Fernandez who was the first Fidalgo to scale the wall on that eventful night of 25th November 1510

muito bem filmado.

Thank you Mario :)

There is no another place like GOA ❤️❤️❤️

Magníficas Imagens!

U can't c trash on roads best part of the video

Nice

Pl I would like to be clear about if goa can also be included Nimma actities it will be more interesting but larger in terms of research and the work will considerably change as let’s be clear on our project as too what are we aiming for so that connected work can be more foccussed

The rome of east! Portuguese destroyed the Indian architecture and culture in goa but rebuild something new and different a mirror of christian europe portugal and italy. The new architecture with majestic buildings wide plain roads and bridges and green trees was a beauty to behold in itself. Indeed Goa was the Rome of East vs known then in the world.

Good old times!

GOD BLESS

I don't see anyone begging.

can someone covert this video in colour format?

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. Viva a Goa dos goeses. Parabéns aos goeses pelo trabalho e esforço que tem sido feito pela evolução. Continuam. Parabéns 👍👍❤️❤️👍👍

Tão linda 💟

Nyc old is gold

Thank for historic view of portuegues goa. , I was not born then , i was of 1969. Panaji . Golden day r not forgettable

Glad india reclaimed goa

My beautiful goa...were portuguese better then the present Indian administration..??? All that the goans want their identity, culture to be safe....!!

Que viu Goa nao preciza de ver a Lisboa

Goa is no more Goa.

India annexed goa, daman diu, dadra nager haveli in 1961

No greener in goa go Goa gone . Now at least congress or rg put goa in place n show it beauty by growing fruit trees

How many were converted or killed during Goan Inquisition?

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.

Golden days of Goa. Now It had lost their culture after joining with India. Unification with India was a great mistake for Goa. With Portugal it waa nice . Now it would have been part of European union also.

Let’s talk about skittles

Give Goa Back to Portugal!

Many salty Portuguese In comment section

My Grandfather Col NB Singh, then a young Capt, participated in Goa Liberation. He later purchased (from govt for a token amount) one of the captured Portuguese weapons, a semi auto Springfield Rifle. In 1971 he participated as CO of a Bn during Bangladesh Liberation. He brought home a captured telephone set and a Revolver as momento from the war. My Sister & Brother-in-law are the 4th Generation Army Offrs from my family. Jai Shri Ram. Jai Indian Army.

Please Goans save our little remain Goa .... please don't sell our land to outsiders ....Roch

Protugeusezan samavlole goaye atamchea sarkaran vatt làilai

Cry!

Look at this beauty...when it was Portuguese...now its all trashed!

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.

Saudades um pedacinho da europa na asia hoje uma baderna 1 bilhao de ratos

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.

Very sad, we GOAN LOST THE GLORY OF OUR BEUTIFULL GOA, ....RICH IN CLEANNESS,GREENERY,AND LOT OF GOD GIFTS......NATURAL THINKS, SURROUNDING, BY CLEAN WATER,AND MANY MORE......WE LOST OUR GOA IN THE HANDS OF THESE POLITITION, WHO DESTROYED....GOD,NATURE WILL TAKE HIS OUN COURSE...WAIT AND SEE.....

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.

I thought the British ruled India.

>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.

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. 🇵🇹

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:(

Actually now I say that d British and Europeans were better than these curropt politicians....

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.

Rmddu

मेportuguese language सीखना चाहता हु

Music of the video is horrible

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.

Jai shree Ram..

Aqui os Brasileiros estão lixados como eu não percebem nada.Assim não criticam.kkkk. ..

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. Governor Albuquerque banned Sati and allowed his soldiers to marry local women🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂 Goa was ceded to Indian Union after a little skirmish in 1961.🙏

Poooooortooooooo

Still the love child of Portuguese in Goa gave up Indian nationality & are working in Uk...Sad

She is Brahmin what she was doing in Bombay that time she was supposed to b in Goa lol many Brahmins faced problems so they supposed British n Portuguese
