Indian Army in Goa, Daman and Diu - 1961

The British (and the French) removed themselves from their colonial possessions in India gracefully. Not so the Portuguese, who hung on to three small pockets on India’s western coast in spite of repeated polite diplomatic reminders that the concept of European nations holding overseas colonies was antiquated, to say the least. Embarrassingly, Portugal refused to heed these for a full 14 years.

With reluctance, the Government of India used minimal force to bring the point home that they were not welcome any more. The Indian Army action in Goa was again more in the nature of a show of force rather than an operation. Either way, this was the last liberation war of consolidation against a non-subcontinental power.

An unfortunate fallout of this action against a token European presence was that both Indian politicians and the people took it for granted that the Indian Army Was in good shape. The war with china that over took the country shortly thereafter was to rouse them from this illusion.
