Goa
is a small state located on the west coast of India. It's
landscape is picturesque with sundrenched beaches, historic
monuments and lush greenery and has a pleasant climate, culinary
expertise and hospitable people.
To recount the past briefly, Goa has been ruled by
the Mauryas,Satavahanas of Kolhapur, Chalukyas of
Badami, Rastrakutas, Kadambas and Yadavas, under whom it
became a part of the Delhi Sultanate.
The Portuguese were the last to rule. Their reign
spanned from 1510 to 1961, until a political movement
launched in the wake of India's Independence in 1947
ultimately led to it's liberation on 19th December,
1961, along with the overland pockets of Daman and Diu,
to form a Union Territory. Goa was upgraded to a full
fledged state of the Indian Union on 30th May, 1987.
