Not much is known about them except they held a public meeting once and issued literature on why Goa should be liberated from Portugal and join the Indian Union. If anyone has information about this league or its counterpart Goa Movement, which raised its voice for self-determination, please do get in touch with me. Any information by way of literature or contact with people involved or related to those involved would be greatly appreciate. Best, Selma
