Goa, 1961: The Complete Story of Nationalism and Integration

Valmiki Faleiro

The subject of the liberation of Goa in 1961 and its integration into the Indian Union in 1962 is sparsely understood at best and misunderstood at worst. What were the events that led to the thirty-six-hour military operation-possibly the first since Independence that occurred entirely at India's initiative? What was the political climate within Goa? What role did Goans themselves play?
