The 26-hour ‘war’ that ended Portuguese rule in Goa & how NATO prevented India from acting earlier

On this day 62 years ago, Goa officially became part of the Union of India. In episode 941 of Cut The Clutter, first published on 16 February 2022, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains how tiny state was liberated & why it took India 14 years after Independence to rid it from Portuguese rule.

[@rajanbalasubramanian]

Today when India is relatively strong everyone is critical of Nehru. Imagine his plight, Pakistan a NATO ally constantly sniping at India and India not having such a strong military and also a weak economy, he was being asked to take on a NATO member. People critical of Nehru don't ask how come we have not been able to recover our Chinese occupied territories ( even if some of them were occupied in Nehru's time). Like Prime Minister Vajpayee once said "It is very easy to start a war, but we must know how it will end" it"

[@SV-wu2my]

You may think, going back in time. In reality, when Tibet was forcibly occupied by China, US has asked for position in India near Ladakh which Nehru refused assuming it will become another East India company. US wanted a position to counter China and USSR from going deep south. As USSR realized Nehru's mindset, they started giving their old arms to India and ready for any military support. I agree that Nehru's position was awkward, but he was not brave enough take the help of Indian army and rather believed on Krushna Menon. Everything is history. When you don't take decisions appropriately, you as a leader looses the plot and that is what can be attributed to him. Unfortunately, Indian history can be distorted and hence instead of publishing the truth, it was painted Nehru as great visionary.

[@krishnam1]

But why was Pakistan the ally of NATO? Eisenhower tried to be a friend. But Nehru was considered massively prickly. It's as if we are ignoring the character of this incredibly vain man who isolated so many capable men while running after such absolute communist trash as Krishna Menon

[@bridgetwadane4392]

What the hell are you talking about? Pakistan was never a NATO member. Also, NATO is a defence pact predominantly concerned with defence affairs in Europe and the US. Other than involving itself in the ousting of Gaddafi in Libya, it has never involved itself in the affairs of Asia! Are you smoking drugs or something?

“The tolerance to corruption among people of Goa is very high. We are sitting idle, as there is not a single complaint of bribery or disproportionate assets in the state against officers from the people for the past five years,” - superintendent of police (SP) of CBI in Goa, Ashesh Kumar, TOI 3 Nov, 2022

[@paragkale1159]

Mr Gupta you did not mention that the first free elections were held in Goa shortly after its liberation and a non-Congress party the MGP, came into power. Portugal had to wait till the mid-1970s for its first truly democratically elected government. It is the only instance in the world where a former colony adopted democracy before the colonial power. The election in Goa softened anti-India feelings in several western countries, and showed the difference between Nehru the democrat, and Salazar the dictator.

[@Nathaniel-ft8qi]

Portugal would have been wise to grant independence. Shekhar Gupta can't even get himself to say priest he has to consciously say pastor - such is the infiltration of hindutva even among professionals as good as Shekhar. What was the point of this video again? Liberation is actually Annexation in International Law. Infact India was the first country to disregard the United Nations Charter. It was a big mistake. But give it time to play out.

[@nagbalkur1365]

I've read Patel a life by Rajmohan Gandhi and other Patel's biographies which clearly indicate that Sardar Patel wanted Goa's liberation much earlier and it was ONLY Nehru who opposed it and delayed it (before NATO even got created which happened in 1949) in 1948. of course, it's a different matter that timing of Goa's liberation was before 1962 election (which helped Nehru/Krishna Menon) and it proved BAD for India as it made Nehru confident in dealing with China (forward policy) and made China think India will attack it, precipitating 1962 war that led to India's defeat (not a theory. but explained clearly in JFK's forgotten war by Bruce Riedel.

Much earlier? Patel died on 15 December 1950. He had not cleared French till then, who were much more open to leaving. All that was done under Nehru. You have simply discounted all good arguments for avoiding early Goa liberation and started pointing towards "intentions" which somehow you know. And so it may not be your theory, but it is Bruce Riedel theory which somehow for you is Gospel. And then you somehow link it with China war as well. China attacked us in a place where it had prepared well and India simply had no quick way to react. The "defeat" was primarily because of the cease fire. In fact, by 1967 India had plugged many holes along that front en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathu_La_and_Cho_La_clashes So Nehru was the best there was. I would have done almost everything as Nehru given the situation of the time and the international situation. As far as 1962 election is concerned, Nehru didn't need a war to win it. There was no one apart from Congress who controlled India. Congress got 361 and CPI 29 seats. So please stop spinning stories en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1962_Indian_general_election

For all practical purpose, the imperial European powers, dictatorship or democracies, lost their colonial possession due to only one real and culturally true, democracy - the US. And thankfully, WW2 made it the superpower while reducing all the colonial powers to pauper - economically, militarily and culturally. American President Franklin Roosevelt and his non compromising pressure on the supremacist, colonialist British PM Winston Churchill, apparently elected by a democracy - led to Indias Freedom. Not some pacifist movement in India. Maybe it is time we recognize his contribution and make a grand statue of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in our capital city to honor his memory. Unfortunately he died early and not witnessing the actual freedom of the colonies. This also tells us, democracy or dictatorship - it makes no difference for a state to its greed, colonization and loot of other nations.
