Goa, 1961: The Complete Story of Nationalism and Integration
by Valmiki Faleiro
- New
- Paperback
Vintage Books. Paperback. NEW. The liberation of Goa in 1961 and its subsequent integration into the Indian Union in 1962 remains a topic that is not widely understood and often misunderstood. However, former journalist Valmiki Faleiro provides a comprehensive account of the events that led to the thirty-six-hour military operation, known as Operation Vijay, shedding light on the political climate within Goa and the role played by the Goans themselves. Faleiro's book, "Goa, 1961," offers a detailed narrative of the diplomatic efforts, arguments, and preparations that preceded the military operation. The author vividly describes the run-up to the operation, the build-up of forces, and the actual operations that took place entirely at India's initiative. Faleiro's account also delves into the aftermath of the operation, both within Goa, India, and on the international stage. One of the key aspects highlighted by Faleiro is the prevailing political atmosphere in Goa during that time. Goa, a former Portuguese colony, had been under Portuguese rule for over four centuries. The Goans had long been subjected to oppressive Portuguese colonial rule, which had led to growing discontent and a desire for independence. Indigenous independence movements and freedom fighters had emerged, playing a significant role in the liberation of Goa. Faleiro's research reveals the changing character of the political atmosphere in Goa, as well as the impact of the indigenous independence movements. These movements, led by Goan freedom fighters, had been actively working towards the liberation of Goa from Portuguese rule. Their efforts, combined with the diplomatic pressure exerted by the Indian government, ultimately paved the way for the military operation. Operation Vijay, which took place in December 1961, marked a significant turning point in the history of Goa. The Indian armed forces launched a swift and successful military operation, liberating Goa from Portuguese rule. The operation was unique as it was entirely initiated by India, making it possibly the first military operation of its kind since India's independence in 1947. The role played by the Goans themselves cannot be overlooked. Faleiro's account highlights the bravery and determination of the Goan people, who actively supported the liberation movement. Many Goans provided valuable intelligence to the Indian armed forces, aiding in the planning and execution of the military operation. The Goans' desire for independence and their active participation in the liberation movement played a crucial role in the success of Operation Vijay. "Goa, 1961" is a seminal book that offers a nuanced and well-researched account of the events surrounding the liberation of Goa. Faleiro's writing style is engaging and informative, making it a must-read for anyone interested in Indian history. The book not only sheds light on a significant chapter in India's history but also provides valuable insights into the political climate within Goa and the role played by the Goans themselves.
