S9E2: Goa Towards Liberation | Konkan Uprising 1

The people of Goa fell into a peculiar problem this month due to a recent change in Indian passport laws. Early last year, Prime Minister Modi claimed that Jawaharlal Nehru deliberately delayed Goa’s liberation and integration with India. What really happened with Goa? I went back to Sushila Mendes’ work and the recent monograph of Valmiki Faleiro on the liberation of Goa.
This and the next three episodes of HistoryChatter offer a detailed account of Goa’s peculiar relations with India.

I focus primarily on the process of its liberation and union with India. This comes closely on the heels of our series on the integration of the princely states with India. The first episode presents the background and the landmark 1946 intervention by Rammanohar Lahia. It also offers one of the interpretations of Jawaharlal Nehru’s role in the process.
