On this day in 1961, the Indian Armed Forces humiliated a Western colonial power, ending 451 years of Portuguese occupation of Goa in just 36 hours.
This crushing defeat bruised the Western ego badly and marked the first time a third-world nation decisively expelled a colonial power. The entire Western world, led by America, hated India for this bold move and still do!
It was the early days of the Deep State—a loose network of Western elites and intelligence agencies under NATO. They instigated China to "teach India and Nehru a lesson" a year later, solidifying the China-Deep State partnership that built the China we know today.
Yet, Western propaganda claims Portugal "left voluntarily."
The truth: India bombarded them relentlessly, and our Army, Navy, and Air Force forced their surrender. Goa Liberation was one of India's finest moments, and they can't stand it!.
