In 1955, he imposed an economic blockade on #Goa but even that did not deter the #Portuguese power to leave the #Indian soil. So in 1961, Mr Nehru decided that there was no alternative option left for military intervention.

I knew Gandhi better than most because he opened his real FANGS to me and I could see the inside of the man. If I DISLIKE him, it is because I LOVE India more. - BR Ambedkar
