Bharatiya Swatantrya te Goa Mukti (Marathi Edition) [Marathi]

By Paresh Vasudev Prabhu

Book Overview

Even after India became independent, Goa, which was an integral part of it, had to remain under a Portuguese rule for fourteen years. One person is held responsible for this delay, that is, the first Prime Minister of independent India, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru. Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, who led the first uprising against restrictions on civil liberties in Goa under Portuguese rule, was prevented by Nehru from returning to Goa for the third time, When Indian Satyagrahis set out for Goa, risking their lives, Nehru's Government prevented them, insisting that the struggle for Goa should be waged by the Goans themselves; He repeatedly refused to use military or police force against Portugal and persisted in expecting dialogue and negotiations from a Portuguese dictatorship that showed not the slightest positive response. Why and how did all this happen? What role did factors such as the Anglo-Portuguese treaty, NATO protection, the case filed by Portugal in the International Court of Justice seeking right of access following the liberation of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and the backing Portugal received from Western nations play in these events? Why did Nehru-who had maintained that Goa would be liberated solely through peaceful means-ultimately had to resort to military action to free it? This is an attempt to find answers to these and many similar questions in a highly objective and well-substantiated manner.
