Marlon said that USA back Portugual during the Indian army's march into Goa. USA played a double role. In his memoirs, GK Galbraith has explained it all. Nehru had Kennedy's backing. However, Portuguese call on US to help them as NATO ally fell on deaf ears. Subsequent crying by Portugal was ignored by Washington. As far as I know Portugal has not offically recognized Goa's liberation. Portugal only restored diplomatic relations which were cut off after 1961.
