GOA - Falls: India Takes Over Tiny Territory
G.O.A. - Falls: India Takes Over Tiny Territory Prime Minister Nehru who six years ago, ruled out 'non-peaceful methods' in absorbing the Portuguese Colony of GOA into India, sends 30,000 troops into the tiny enclave to take it over by force. GAO and the adjacent enclaves of Damao and Diu thus fall to the leader of the 'neutralist' world. Destroyed homes. Villagers standing in streets. Military soldiers mingling about. Tracking shot of jeep. Villagers walking, man carries large black umbrella, shading him from the sun. Poster reads: VIVA GOA LIVRE. Man holds flag in front of poster. Group of men hold flags, ride on top of jeep. Military jeep passes by. Military unload from dock area, walk through streets. Women look puzzled.
