Mahtma Gandhi , Nehru and others really fought for the freedom of India and 
because of their efforts the British thought it wise to leave India into the 
hands of Indians and they went away.But in Goa some freedom might have made 
noise, meetings etc but it was the Indian army marched into the territory and 
used force Goa was liberated. Actually the Portuguese did not sign any 
documents and what actually took place was capture of the territory by force. I 
do not know if later on any treaty was signed and that is the reason all those 
who are born before 1961 are portuguese citizen. It is wrong to give awards to 
goan freedom fighters or pension .I am not hurting any one but these are my 
personal views.If I am wrong i want to say sorry i am wrong . I am not a 
lawyer, I was born much after all these fiasco and am not a portuguese citizen 
but I feel and want to know what others feel.
