At the decline of the intensity of pluviation in the last Pleistocenic age around 10000 BC, the bottom of Deccan plateau was lifted up and out of sea-waters by the tectonic movements, formed the West-coast of India, Goa being a part thereof.
The Liberation of Goa was a military action undertaken by the Government of India to liberate the territories of Diu, Daman and Goa from Portuguese rule on 17 -19 December 1961. The “armed action” was code-named Operation Vijay by the Indian Armed Forces. Regarded as one of the most significant days in the history of Goa, also considered as a forgotten war of freedom, December 19 commemorates the freeing of Goa from Portuguese rule by the Indian Armed Forces and the complete independence of the Indian subcontinent.
