How Goa Became Part of India | Operation Vijay

Goa, a former Portuguese colony, became a part of India through a process of annexation in 1961. The region had been under Portuguese rule for over 450 years before India's successful military intervention, known as "Operation Vijay."

This operation involved the Indian Armed Forces liberating Goa, Daman, and Diu from Portuguese control, leading to their integration into the Indian Union. The annexation marked a significant milestone in India's quest to unify its territory and assert its sovereignty over regions that were remnants of colonial rule.
