If the entire population of Goa were in revolt, the Indian Army wouldn't have needed to invade with a force of 30,000 men against the 3,000-strong Portuguese garrison. The fake Indian-staffed and -sponsored guerrilla movement would have been unnecessary. A simple boycott by the Goanese would have ended Portuguese sovereignty.
Hahahaha

A simple boycott huh? You make it sound so simple. 300 years of Portuguese colonization (or for that matter European colonization of Asia and Africa) can end with one simple boycott! Who woulda thought!
I asked you a very simple question which you very wisely evaded to pile on more BS. Let me ask again...
“Do you see Goans fighting for independence like Tibetans? Do you see them revolting, rioting, protesting and agitating against the Indian government like in China.”
Also tell me why did the Portuguese government fired on unarmed civilians?
By the way here is a little tibit.... Dadra and Nagar Haveli (also under Portuguese rule) free themselves without Indian help. And after Goan liberation there was a referendum held where Goans overwhelmingly voted for a federally administered territory.
Diego Garcia: Mate you seem to know things about the Indian “annexation” wish-list that we haven’t even heard of!!! You must, I mean MUST have access to some great secret files archive or you believe everything you read on the internet. Yes, there are internet sites that claim they have invented a method that enables pigs to Fly!!! And no, I don’t mean in an aeroplane.
Goa: I think you have long left your comfort zone on this one when you compare it to Tibet. India liberated Goa from a foreign power where the administration did not include people who were “Goanese”, then granted the people a democratic system which continues to flourish. In Tibet, China replaced the existing, home-grown leadership system with one from the outside - the Chinese one. In fact, in that case, they didn’t liberate the people but subjugated them. That subjugation continues today with no real representative elections and frequent extra-judicial and judicial killings and executions.
So please....I respect your views on a wide range of subjects as many others do on the forum here but I recommend that you either research your claims better in order to substantiate them or stay away from making claims when you cannot.
Cheers!
