S9E2: Internationalising the Goa problem | Konkan Uprising 2

Historychatter Podcast

Between 1946 and 1956, the Goa question had entered the international domain. India became independent but did not want to annex Goa by force. It stressed Goa’s social and cultural unity with India but insuu insisted on a diplomatic handover by Portugal. The latter had no such intention.

Meanwhile, the freedom fighters in Goa carried on their struggles. In 1954, India imposed an economic boycott, hoping Portugal would finally surrender an impoverished Goa.
But the reality turned out to be the very opposite. How did Goa become wealthy for the first time in the middle of a crippling economic blockade?

The second episode of The Konkan Rising, a four-part series on the liberation of Goa on HistoryChatter, explores that irony.
