The Indian Invasion of Goa: Every Hour 

My mother's ex-husband's father was stationed in Portuguese India for a while, he ended up being kept in an Indian prison for about six months after the invasion, the upside is that he passed down some local curry recipes to our family.

Fun fact: Flamengo, a football team of Brazil, supported India because Goa had a city named "Vasco da Gama", Vasco da Gama is also a football team in Brazil, Flamengo and Vasco have one of the greatest rivalries in football history. Flamengo managers said: " we have to destroy Vasco in any means possible" [APRIL FOOLS COMMENT]

The greatest prank is no prank

I was expecting every second of the Anglo-Zanzibar war but this is cool too!

0:14 Your map of Diu is slightly inaccurate 1. The part to the right that you made an island where Ghogola is, is a peninsula connected to the rest of India. 2. The island's northern borders should be much smoother, the parts you made just water is swampland and most maps count it as part of the island. Including a Portuguese map from 1920

After India achieved independence in 1947, it made claims on Goa in 1948 and 1949, and Portugal came under increasing pressure to cede Goa and its other possessions in the subcontinent to India. In mid-1954, Goan nationalists seized the Portuguese enclaves of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and established a pro-Indian administration. Another crisis occurred in 1955 when satyagrahis (nonviolent resisters) from India attempted to penetrate the territory of Goa. At first the satyagrahis were deported,

Finally, you made a video about this. I was waiting for a long time

What India did to Goa is similar to what China tried to do to Macau around the same time period in 1966, called the 12-3 incident. Basically, there was segregation for education, the Chinese were treated poorly while Portuguese got to go to private schools, and decided to build their own private school as a way to make things fair. The gov gave them the land, stopped it because they didn't receive bribes, but the locals kept building. The police intervened, things got out of hand, and 40 people were injured. Then on December 3rd, a group of revolutionary students protested what was happening, ransacked Portuguese institutions, even looting Chinese businesses that supported the Kuomintang (both the CCP and Kuomintang had a presence in Macau at the time), and a large group of Red Guards gathered at the border. Martial law in Macau was declared, and this resulted in 8 people killed and 212 injured. The PRC responded by deploying 15,000 troops and a couple warships to Macau to prevent the Red Guards from invading (basically saying, "we don't like them too, but leave the invading part to the professionals). Due to pressure from both the PRC AND the Estado Novo in Lisbon (yup, even SALAZAR said "You F'd up"), the colonial government agreed to apologize, accept responsibility, and give de-facto control of Macau to the PRC. This made Ho Yin, the leader of the Chinese community of Macau, the de-facto governor. The colonial gov. also made another agreement with Guandong, where China agreed to take back all refugees who arrived after January 1967 (they kept this promise until 1978)

The then Portuguese dictator Antonio Salazar had suspended civil liberties in Goa , the freedom of press was also suspended , peaceful protestors were not allowed to protest. When Indian army entered Goa they faced nearly no resistance from locals and it was like a cakewalk for them to reach Panjim and unfurl the tricolour . This is how a 450 year old empire came to an end. A piece of paper blown away by gentle breeze

India did not ''Suddenly seize goa'', India retaliated the portuguese firing on an indian fishing vessel. Goans had been mistreated for centuries

Dear India , the past stays in the past , now we chill 🇵🇹 🇮🇳

Thank you for this video. India always carried great importance in the Portuguese History. We lost many of our countrymen and did the impossible to get there and establish a bit of our Portugal in the East. But it was done. Although the issue was not solved diplomatically, we still have a great fondness for India, and Goans are a very important part of our society. Even our Prime-Minister is of Goan descent.

As per the post Indipendence agreement Portuguese were supposed to leave by 1958, but they continued to stay. Free Goa agitation became more intensive Then Nehru ordered the taking over under the commander of Gen Candeth 1961 And the portugese left .

Fun Fact: The Portugese prime mister, Antonio Costa has his roots in Goa. (His Grandfather was Goan)

it's not invasion, it's liberation

Thank you! Now thats informative!

Indian "Liberation" of Goa

Portugal was foolish for thinking that they could actually defend Goa against a united India.

Portugal had to GOA away

The Salazar government of Portugal was incredibly stubborn in wanting to be the last European colonial power. This was very insulting to people of Africa, India and China and really damaged Portugal's international reputation, as well as costing a large amount of money to the Portuguese taxpayers, who had to pay for unnecessary colonial wars.

Legend says Goa invasion/liberation continues in comment section as of 2023

After my country lost to Portugal in the final round of World Cup play-offs, this pops up as a consolation video XD 🇲🇰🤝🇮🇳

More likely the Indian Reconquest of Goa.

As a Goan, thank you

Imagine if India owned a part of Portugal and kept it for a century

Chad India vs. Virgin Portugal

What a awesome music, it made me think of commander of conquer generals but with an india faction.

Portugal committed genocide against it's local Muslims and native Americans. It should be condemned

You meant the liberation of Goa

India: Goa Way!

India to Portugal: British have already left. You need separate notice? 😂😂

I wonder if China would've done the same thing if the UK and Portugal refused to cede Hong Kong and Macau, respectively.

*Indian liberation of Goa

After the war ended, Portugal still claimed Goa all the way until the Carnation Revolution.

It was liberation not invasion

Nice music, fits for this!

Kind of feels weird to see India invading a place (even though this particular case is that of decolonization). I felt it would have been much smoother if Portugal simply surrendered Goa to India with a referendum (thus saving their face) without creating an opportunity for an armed intervention.

That was intense

The USSR helped out India at the time by using its UN veto to stop UN action against India. The US and UK condemned India for taking Goa. The USSR helped India again later in the India-Pakistan war by sending nuclear-armed submarines to patrol her coast, scaring away the US and British warships that were on their way to bomb India. The foundations of the current strong relationship between Russia and India was built in those times. Also explains why India really doesn't like being lectured to by the US and the UK.

Saw the chess stream the other day, nice play!

Before this, the Portuguese were doing Goa Inquisition, and they were torturing and Hindu and Buddhists of Goa, and banning the Native Languages! So it's good thing that Portucringe was kicked out of Goa...

Is this what Saddam thought his invasion of Kuwait would be?

didn't see this one coming

Dadra and Nagar Haveli was also part of Portuguese India that period. India also annexed it along with Goa and Daman and Diu. At present day Goa is an Indian state and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu are merged into a single Union Territory.

How is it invasion? It is our own territory.

The war was triggered after Portugese killed Indian fishermen, the war ends too quick as there's a strong support from the people of Goa.. also the Will of Indian forces

It was not capturing,it was liberation.We rightfully reclaimed what was ours.

Indian liberation of Goa****

Actual conflict not many know about, it almost became a wider conflict is memory serves me correct

Goooood

Lots of portugeezers still malding, it seems

Change the title it should be Indian liberation of Goa

W India

Nice!

I know it’s April Fools, but y’all seriously believe in India?

I have done similar thing like this but I still failed. ~Indonesian probably

I was like,is this a 1 april joke?But its even better.

Wow nice video

It's not annexation it's Decolonization

Thank you

It is our province you can't say we invade it

Most useful indian stereotypical music

And the funny thing.... This invasion was done by police forces. The army was busy in the North battling in Kashmir I am a Goan

I have come into posession of a bowl of garlic bread, I shall enjoy whilst I view this video.

one of the few times where an invasion was justified

That was unfair

Dadra and Nagar Haveli should have also been mentioned.

I'm loving the Portugese copium in the comments.

By the way, how didn't this trigger NATO's Article 5? Wasn't Portugal a NATO member back in 1961?

Probably the most satisfying emperor tigerstar video ever

The Nation of Goa fell to the evil Hindi empire

I guess India wanted them to GOAway.

Based

Great April Fools joke. We all know India isn't real

Nice

Portugal: Minding its own business. India: *Will Smith slap*

Operation Vijay 🇮🇳

Glorious conquest (or is it re-conquest?) by India of its natural territory.

Deman looked like the netherlands at first glance.

Seems there's a lot of pro-Portuguese keyboard warriors in the chat complaining about a place they've probably never even seen LMFAO.

But Portugal and India should allies

based

Wtf. The Portuguese were the invaders and Indians reclaimed it.

Its called LIBERATION, not Invasion. 👎👎

The Portuguese were the Vikings of the Early Modern period, they were literally everywhere around the globe

Wait if portugal was part of nato why didn’t nato defend it against india?

NATO went underground that day 💀

i swear i thought this was an april fools

जय हिंद, जय गोमंतक 🙏🏼🚩

Portugal was a NATO country at that time. 😂

the joke is: portugal.

Liberation*

India did a lil trolling

I daman Diu to goa away

Hello there

India was like leave Goa or somebody gonna get a hurt real bad

Yes

This would be the equivalent of China invading Hongkong and Macau

Happy April Fools Day

How this didn’t activate an article 5 is beyond me
