The Goa liberation movement was a movement which fought to end Portuguese colonial rule in Goa, Portuguese India. The movement built on the small scale revolts and uprisings of the 19th century, and grew powerful during the period 1940–1961. The movement was conducted both inside and outside Goa, and was characterised by a range of tactics including nonviolent demonstrations, revolutionary methods and diplomatic efforts.[1][2] However, Portuguese control of its Indian colonies ended only when India invaded and annexed Goa in 1961,[3] causing a mixture of worldwide acclaim and condemnation,[4] and incorporated the territories into India.
