- #India's small western state of #Goa is probably one of its most widely visited #tourist spots, with 7 million visitors in 2019 alone. But few people know that it was the only Indian state to live under Portuguese - not British - colonial rule. Goa only joined independent India in 1961, 14 years after the rest of the country. Long famous as a hippie paradise, today Goa still attracts dreamers from all over the world and remains a cultural melting pot of Indian and Portuguese traditions.

I'm from Goa, India 🇮🇳. Goa was a Portuguese colony for more than 450+yrs. Btw.. india army just entered Goa 😂 and Portuguese govt surrendered. I'm proud to be a Indian. I love the diversity of our country.
Ps.. Show the correct map of India 🇮🇳
I am also from Goa!

He said indian invasion in goa..what an ass
I had a great time in 1994/5 Christmas and New year's Eve! Met people from all over, lovely welcome from natives! Benalium was a tiny village, cosy with it's bikes all over the place! Hope you Goans are managing well during this time and praying for best prosperity, balancing resources and warmth friendships between all knew "Goans". I live in Goiás, Brazil and I have the best of Goa with me. 😉 🙏🏻

Invasion or liberation??
By any point of view it was a liberation.
Portugal a country thousands of miles away had invaded it.
Why is it so difficult for Europeans to understand that places thousands of miles away don't belong to them to call it an invasion by Indian Army
@@bvz2565 India doesn't want to capture Malta and call it a liberation, so you can keep your nose out of Himalayan affairs.
And about Northeastern Indians their culture and their looks, if you're pointing out towards their buddhism, then let me tell you a fact that Buddha became the Buddha in Bihar,Central India. Also India is an ethnically diverse country, we have Tamils looking similar to Sri Lankans. . .That doesn't mean we should invade Sri Lanka or Tamil Nadu state should secede.
Also, one more amazing fact. India doesnt need to invade, Sikkim was an independent country like Bhutan till 1975, their "Asian looking" population overwhelming voted to join the Indian Union and abandon their kingdom. We didn't invade them, they chose our democracy.
So think next time before you blabber your dirty racist imperial thoughts over the Internet
@@bvz2565 typical Chinese on pla payroll assh@le j&k is ours if you stalk your mom will miss you
@@bvz2565 Chinese civilization lives in the east. If you look at the geographical map of India, China is farther away from Tibet than India let alone the Northeast. Also Northeast is extremely diverse, they don't have a single culture. Northeast alone has more languages than China.
They are Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Sanamahist, animists, etc. Meiteis have their own scripts. There are around 200 Naga tribes. Meghalaya has 3 regions. Arunachal has Nyishi, Adi, Galo, Tibetans, etc. Northeast is directly connected to the rest of India by Bengal and there is no desert or Ocean in between unlike the sparse population of Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Tibet. As we go eastwards and northwards, the mountains slowly start rising until reaching the boundary of the Himalayas and lower Himalayas. These boundaries separate India from Myanmar and Tibet. Just look at the Geographical mat at once, and you will know why it is part of India. Also, check the diversity there.
@@bvz2565 An Indian citizen from the North-East part of India has more political, religious, linguistic, and cultural freedom than even an average Han in China, let alone the oppressed second-class existence of a Uighur or Tibetan.
@@bvz2565 That is what being part of a country/union ultimately means, you genius!
Providing such freedoms is among the top criteria that define a modern democratic nation-state.
I am portuguese and I have Goan family. It's a shame that we had a dictatorship in Portugal for so long and couldn't sort an agreement our like we did with Macau. Salazar was terrible and just considered all colonies to be a part of the country. Our prime minister right now is Goan and everyone in Portugal is proud of being friends with India.
Its always the governments (people in power) who causes tensions between countries, while the majority of people choose humanity and kindness.
Brazil was also ruled by Portugal but we managed to get independence.
That's music to my ears.

I have been to Andamans back in 2003. Saw the Jarawas upfront on my way to Mayabunder from Port Blair.
Portuguese went from Europe to India and captured a piece of land.Hence it was invasion. India recaptured the part that is in no way isolated from Indian mainland , after discussions failed. It has to be debated whether it was invasion or liberation. Typical western attitude!
effects of 200 years of slavery !
You benefitted in the end. Portuguese left their marks on it, style and ways. Now it's unique and more different. If it was Indians then it would've been like any typical place.
@@hassymiia6267 imagine if USA made the same justification to Japan after world war 2, that Hey look we dropped couple of bombs on you, this made those two cities different than the other typical Japanese cities. And it even bought us closer, you would be getting American technology in return of it, plus you become a US treaty Allie. So that benefitted you, why would you complain about those two bombs dropping on you.
@@hassymiia6267 Yeah the "typical place" was much better than this. Not to forget the Goa Inquisition by the Catholic Church and the cruelties. Typical of a westerner to think the natives of other countries benefitted from colonization when it was the colonial powers alone that benefitted!

@@MrBazukaz It's a federation of many different states, each with unique cultures, histories, languages. You're right - it's as if EU was a country and Netherlands, Spain, Poland were all states of that country. That's how India is. But it's getting more homogenous, that's natural process of unhindered mobility, right to live and work, own property, start a business etc. And many kids go to other states for college/ first job and marry "outside their culture" to an Indian from another state.
Dreamers or retired hippies? I've seen a lot of retired hippies trying to recreate the 1960-70s in South East Asia. 😅
Kind of that.

India island are near to south east Asia. But mainland India is in South Asia. Goa is 5000 km away from those islands.
Hippie culture is worth maintaining.. Lovely, humanistic, and helpful. Cheerfulness is to be cherished these days.

I had an opportunity to visit Goa a few years ago, and it felt like home. I am part-Portuguese and grew up in Brazil. The buildings, the language in signs and businesses, the beaches, it all felt very familiar. Goan food is delicious, and Goans are very welcoming. I understand that the Portuguese had no right to invade Goa (or any of its colonies), but Portuguese influence is a historical fact, and tends bridges to regions far away from India. Hopefully I can go back some time soon.
Ola . Bienvenida do india . Eu gosto muito Goa . Also the influence of portuguese culture is what makes goa unique. even as an indian i want to visit goa , portugal and brasil . I want to eat all the portuguese influenced dishes . I am from kerala ,india . Obrigado e tchau . Eu falou portuguese um poco
Sounds overwhelmingly beautiful
Goa was a part of the Bijapur Sultanate in 1510. The local Hindus helped the Portuguese in the conquest of Goa because they didn't want to keep paying jizya tax (they supplied the Portuguese with food and also took part in the killings of the Bijapur Muslims during the conquest).
Went to Goa many times and was chatting with the locals and taxi drivers.
Said Russians have messed up the place since the past 10 years.
Even Brits and Americans vacate the hotels en-masse if they spot a group of Russians in the same hotel. ROFL!!!🤣🤣🤣
Russians are freaking funny man. Dunno what they have done but they have certainly raised some eyebrows.
Anyways, just wanna say that Goa is just awesome. Not many people talk about this, but it's not the weather or the parties, but it's the people of Goa that are the real highlight.
They are so chilled out, friendly and warm. That is the real highlight of going to Goa.
You get back to the urban hustle completely refreshed and hopeful about humanity.
Goa is not just a State in India...It's a State of Mind.

I was very positively surprised by the way Orlando plays the Portuguese guitar, just like a Portuguese, and the perfect portuguese pronounciation of the singer. Congratulations and thank you.
The government tried to suppress it, but direct observation of uncouth ghantti behaviour meant that younger Goans started relearning Portuguese culture on their own initiative in order to distance themselves from the ghanttis.

Yeah I was thinking the same.
So that’s the map of India that appears in (almost) all foreign media publications. Also , Google Maps and Apple Maps alter geographic boundaries based on your location. The maps that we see outside India do not usually include PoK and Aksai Chin as they are technically not Indian controlled territories. Although, Arunachal Pradesh, which is also disputed with China although controlled by India does appear in the “foreign” version :) Hope that helps.

India. Defeats Portugal and annexes the whole of the Portuguese State of India without even lettting natives decide if they want to be part of India or not (aka invasion, just like Germany did to Poland).
@@l23722 "India. Defeats Portugal and annexes the whole of the Portuguese State of India without even lettting natives decide if they want"
What a genius! Why did the Allies allow the return of Sudetenland to Checkoslovkia then?! It had German speaking population anyway, right?!
BTW, Goa WAS part of India before the Portuguese invasion! Culturally and religiously people of Goa at that time weren't all that different than Indians from the surrounding areas. Goan inquisition that the Portuguese carried out with the blessing of the Vatican was a genocide of sorts. It was a cultural genocide and Taliban-level religious persecution anyway!!
@@l23722More than that. India floods Goa with Indians from other states, one group of immigrants even tries to merge Goa with Maharashtra, migrants constantly try to push Magic Dirt Theory and BS that they're native Goans, Hindus and Leftists try to rewrite Goan history (forced conversions, Inquisition atrocities, etc.).
Viva GOA🏖🏝🍹
Goa is very beautiful. I was there in 2017. Highly recommended 🙂🙏
GOA is really a great place We love ❤ our India 🇮🇳
Goa was always part of india. It was Portugal who took and ruled it.. it killed many people and converted millions. Europe history is full of bloody wars... India not invaded but took possession of its own territory after 14 long years of dialogs with Portugal. Don't twist history. At least we expect this from France who we consider India's friend.
They are also colonized India. So what do you expect from them.
There was no such thing as India before 1947. It's a relatively new country. Whereas Goa was a part of the Portuguese empire for hundreds of years.
@@tijojoseph3315 are you fool ??? India is not an country in colonization period but before that India had many empires where Goa is also part of it.
@@santhoshanvelmurugan3324 It's hard to understand what you mean because your English is horrible. Go back to school!
@@tijojoseph3315 oh really... atleast we don't need history lesson about 5000 years old civilization.from you.... ha ha ha.... when Europe was not even existed India was golden bird.... but obviously we don't expect anything from you...
Should have added how the Portuguese forced their faith on locals and tried to even destroy the existing Syrian catholics
There weren't any Syrian Catholics in Goa, the Portuguese had no problems writing about their presence in Kerala and would've done the same if there were any in Goa. They also didn't have to force their faith on the locals, that's Brahmin revisionism of the 20th century to cover up Brahmin social rejection by the rest of Goan society. Contemporary records have shown that the overwhelming majority of Goans left Hinduism voluntarily because they preferred mleccha firangi leadership to sanskriti Brahmin oppression (over 70% of Hindus weren't even allowed to enter temples but still had to give forced free labour for the upper castes and money for the temples, human sacrifice including child sacrifice was done in temples, Brahmin men exploited Hindu widows and made the resulting offspring into a permanent underclass of hookers and temple servants, etc.).
I came back from Gokarna couple of days back. It's 90km from Goa and even more beautiful that it as well. Gokarna is still not over commercialized.
This video shows Goa, which they are appreciating coz of its Portuguese influence and hence its a unique and beautiful beaches. Its the typical white man being civilized attitude. The drugs and alcohol problem is huge in Goa. Drugs and alcohol is civilized since they are free choices we make to harm our body. France24 has an agenda and they are working on it. Not surprised.
The problem is that every time mass tourism took place in India from outside of India, soon after that invasion of India occurred.
Foreigners were always a bad omen/ news for India.
Proud to be Goan ❤
Goa Is India's Little portugal
goa is good for partys but if you wont to visit beaches . i recommend you to visit indian Island andman and nicobar... you love this.. believe me..
Agreed. Too many crowds have destroyed Goa's beaches.
Didn't France also invade Germany to capture some of its parts during WW2?
No, that was WW1.
Please use the right map of india 🇮🇳
They can't do that because every Nato country recognizes Pakistan's and China's occupied zone over Kashmir
For example if you view India on google maps in france , Kashmir would have dotted borders because of the conflict with China and Pakistan
20 guys standing on the sides and 2 couples dancing nervously ... yeap, that's the Indian party scene 🤣🤣🤣
There's hardly goans left in Goa now. Lot of non goans have outnumbered goans as residents of Goa. Hope Goa will not lose its identity in coming years. Btw, i m from South Goa.
Gtfo with your parochial regionalism.
The problem is not migrants from other parts of India per se. It's Indians who move there and do not wish the integrate with the local culture. So yes, Goa is losing its identity.
Excatly
@@tijojoseph3315 goa lost identity long back when the temples were destroyed by Portuguese and millions were killed
@@tijojoseph3315 What is local culture???
As per my understanding local culture is hinduism so what is new there ?
Go Goa and forget world.
Have fun. Beaches are beautiful.
Food is great. Welcome to Goa. Thanks France.
My home place and miss it. It sill needs to come a long way helping it's people
Would love some comments too
@@abhu17 OK !
@@abhu17 😳😄😄
This is really a great piece of journalism. Really loved the way it is presented over here. Thanks to France 24 team for such a commendable job
India is like 29 countries in one
It's a dream for every school and college going students to visit goa once in their lifetime with friends here in India...Even I dreamt to visit Goa every year but finally I visited Goa in 2019 with all my friends.. You can find people from all around the globe..
Why you have shown the wrong map of india?
its not something to be appeciated
😡 😡 😡
It is the correct map it is only in India where they show a different version where pok is a part of india
What do u expect from white Europeans.
This is done so well; loved it. I have been here for the last 31 years and I can see my state deteriorating as time passes. We have lost so much and will continue to loose till as responsible citizens we try and make amends. We should be done with the tag of "partying state" and "casino spot" , focus more on eco-tourism that the state has to offer - Kudos to the effort by Puja Mitra. The amount of damage done to the bio-diversity belt in Goa is going to have phenomenal impact in terms of climate change. Lets just pray for the best.
Love from West Bengal ( State of eastern India)
Oh, the HQ of Islamic Caliphate of India.
@@scatteringparameters.4167 Lol 😂😂 also it was the HQ of the Britishers
Interesting how non goan Indians are the ones hating in the comment section.
Their envy and resentment will never end.
Typical one sided portrayal of Goa from western mindset. 70% of local Goans are konkani speaking Hindus and there is no mention of any of their traditions and customs..It's all about Goa's Portuguese heritage but again no mention on Portuguese atrocities which goa had to endure for 400 years.. Westerners are still living in those old colonial mindset and hence calling freedom struggle of Goa as Invasion by India
That is why you wrote in an western language ... ludicrous!!! Truly.
@@goncalomeneses5611 if he had written in konkani or any other Indian language than people like you will never understand his message
@@AG-qo2rz Exactly my point: he did rejected the benefice of knowing and speaking an international language.
It's western civilization that you are living in! Every modern convenience, the internet, smart phones, jet travel etc. was developed by "evil" western civilization. The language you are communicating in is Western, this very platform you are using is western! Don't like it, speak your bs mother tongue on your own platform!
@Pagan Min Bullish. My ancestors were great, you inveterate jealous individual.
When India liberated Goa from Portugal in 1964, Portugese persecuted the Indian community in it's colonial Mozambique in revenge attacks.
'It ain't over until the fat lady sings', how fitting the conclusion...
Best beaches in India can be found in the islands Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep.....white sand beaches and pristine blue waters...paradise...
“Promoting eco friendly tourism” yeah not really especially when that combustion engine in the boat is so loud.
Friends went to Goa in the mid seventies and said it was a total blast. Seems a bit commercial now though. Maybe one day!!! Cheers ✌️
“ india invaded Goa”? I’m a Goan, an Indian, not Portuguese. It was our land,not Portugals,we built those churches and architecture, not the Portuguese. They were an occupying force.
We technically did invade Goa in 1961. Nothing wrong with that.
@@Venator74 no Goa was liberated from an invading force.
@@Venator74 if I snatch your wallet and after few days you decide to take it back from me. Will you be a thief?
No, the architects and engineers of most historical buildings were the Portuguese. Also, Goa was part of the Bijapur Sultanate in 1510 and so the Portuguese were supported by the local Hindus during the conquest (they supplied the Portuguese with food and also took part in the killings of the Bijapur Muslims). Goa also had its own seat in the Portuguese Parliament with its own MP, it was an Overseas Province and not a colony like British India.
@@cg8397 who were the labourers? Where did the money come from? Where were the raw materials from? They came from Portugal?, they did not build those churches out of charity, there was 'inquisition' going on, they were persecuting Hindus, converting them, so they needed churches to be built. Whatever you said doesn't change the fact that they were invader's, "Hindus helped" more like forced to help, when you are stuck between 2 devil's you choose the lesser evil but doesn't change the face that they were evil. I'm willing to bet you don't even know what the' Portugese inquisition ' was and what they did in Goa. You have talked about ' jizya', did you forget the Portugese had a similar taxation on non Christians called 'xendi' ?
Go to a peaceful place, then take speakers. I've heard you can no longer be lulled to sleep by the rhythm of lapping waves.
sacred relics of Queen St. Ketevan of Georgia ( Caucasus Mountains ) in Goa , and a part of the blessed relics sent back to Georgia, after 400 years safety of Goa. all inclusive diversity is india. sorry and thank you.
Wow interesting where can i read about it? And Thank you 😊
The relics were rescued from Iran by Portuguese monks of the Augustinian order who had witnessed her execution, these monks kept them in Goa. I'm sorry to say that Dharmics and Leftists tried to co-opt the martyr in recent years in an attempt to trash the local Catholics.
That water doesnt look blue anymore.
Recaptured not invasion.
I have been living in Goa for the last 6 months. It’s amazing here.
Been Goa three times, every time pleasure and freshness and friendlyness amused me, planning to visit there soon.
Feni , vindaloo, beach , trance !!
Whatever happened is history stop arguing and proving that this culture is good or bad , every cultural is beautiful ,it depends on your attitude wheather you want to accept it or not. Just stay peaceful and have nice time there , everything is good there
Goa it's beautiful
Love to see my state Goa in France news ❤❤❤
But they showed it in a bad way telling false facts
@@NATION_FIRST_BRAVEHEARTS yes I agree to ur statement bro.... Many things r to b corrected 🙏viva Goa
Samant is a ghantti surname, stop lying about being Goan.
Its kind of comical to see the comment section filled with people that mistake the name of a subcontinent with the alias name of a Republic from the 1940`s. Are there any schools in the Republic of India?
I am portuguese and yes we lost a litle piece of land in India while we were fighting all over Africa. But guess what? There was no country called India, kingdom called India or Republic called India when the portuguese arrived there throwing canon bals at turks and conquering half the globe with just 1 million portuguese in total ...try beat that in History, lets see if that republic lasts more than 200 years
Portuguese heritage in Goa is more ancient than anything you guys have over there. Having doubts? Point a kingdom that lasted continuously more than 400 years over there. Not even the british lasted that long .
Do you know how many countries speak portuguese? How many speak hindi?
There are 2 types of countries in the world: those who think that size and numbers produce History, and those who make History
@Antonio Ferreira Well said!
@Anubhav also "bharat" constisted of Pakistan, Bangladesh and nepal, so where are they now? Guess they didn't wanted to end up like goa by joining india
You deny the fact and people gonna believe it??
