Santosh,
Did not expect this from you. Good on you that you
touched of the subject. Estado da India Portuguesa.
Goa, Damao, Diu, Dadra, Nagar Haveli, Bombaim and
Bassaim (and a few other territories) were
collectively a State of Portugal (a province). Long
ago before there was something called British India.
Bombaim, Bassaim and other territories were, as you
well know, given away by the Portuguese as dowry or
just given up.
I am not going to give you a history lesson, which you
probably know lots more that I ever will. But the fact
is that Goa was not part of the plan when India was
created by the Brits out of what was then known as
East Indies or British India. Nor was Ceylon (it was a
protectorate, I understand).
Cheers,
Gabriel.
