Let's salute many Goans who participated in liberating these Portuguese colonies. They were volunteets of the United Front of Goans, Azad Gomantak and others The satyagrahis successfully led their assault on these Portuguese possessions in 1954. It gave a big boost to the freedom movement and eventually led to liberation of Goa. I remember meeting Francis Mascarenhas many, many years ag. He one of those who was in the forefront of the struggle.
