Goa Liberation Day is observed on December 19 every year. It commemorates the freeing of Goa from Portuguese rule by the Indian Armed Forces in December 1961 and the complete independence of the Indian subcontinent.
It marks the day Indian armed forces freed Goa in 1961 following 450 years of Portuguese rule. While India gained independence on August 15, 1947, Goa was still mouldering under Portuguese rule.
