How India made free its areas from the possession of French and Portuguese after independence?

Answer»

Indian areas of Goa, Daman and Diu were under Portuguese possession. In the same way Pondicherrey, Chandranagar and Mahi were under French rule. French gave back Indian areas to India in 1954 A.D. but Portuguese refused to do so. In the end Indian government was forced to use military to take -possession of its areas. On 20th December 1961 A.D., Portuguese establishments of Goa, Daman and Diu were included in the Union of India. Goa was made a state on 30th May, 1987 A.D. and Damap and Diu were made Union territories.
