The third episode of Konkan Uprising, our special series of the liberation of Goa, focuses on the economic blockade during the late 1950s. India did not want to make a military intervention, even though diplomatic relations broke down irrevocably. Instead, it imposed an economic sanction, since trade with India made up the lifeline of the Goan economy. India hoped that the boka class would choke the Goan economy, forcing Portugal to hand over Goa to India. What followed was its exact opposite. Goa actually became quite prosperous during the years the blockade was in effect. It set off an unprecedented mining boom, and a general deuce towards industrialisation. This episode explores that paradox.

The third episode of The Konkan Rising, a four-part series on the liberation of Goa on HistoryChatter, explores that irony.

Between 1946 and 1956, the Goa question had entered the international domain. India became independent but did not want to annex Goa by force. It stressed Goa’s social and cultural unity with India but insuu insisted on a diplomatic handover by Portugal. The latter had no such intention.

Meanwhile, the freedom fighters in Goa carried on their struggles. In 1954, India imposed an economic boycott, hoping Portugal would finally surrender an impoverished Goa.
But the reality turned out to be the very opposite. How did Goa become wealthy for the first time in the middle of a crippling economic blockade?

The second episode of The Konkan Rising, a four-part series on the liberation of Goa on HistoryChatter, explores that irony.

The people of Goa fell into a peculiar problem this month due to a recent change in Indian passport laws. Early last year, Prime Minister Modi claimed that Jawaharlal Nehru deliberately delayed Goa’s liberation and integration with India. What really happened with Goa? I went back to Sushila Mendes’ work and the recent monograph of Valmiki Faleiro on the liberation of Goa.
This and the next three episodes of HistoryChatter offer a detailed account of Goa’s peculiar relations with India.

I focus primarily on the process of its liberation and union with India. This comes closely on the heels of our series on the integration of the princely states with India. The first episode presents the background and the landmark 1946 intervention by Rammanohar Lahia. It also offers one of the interpretations of Jawaharlal Nehru’s role in the process.

Coffee drinking on a large scale did not start in India before the early 20th century. Once it became popular as a leisure drink, many commentators responded to its novel appeal. Some believed it was making Indians more prone to diseases.
Yet others believed coffee reduced breast milk supply in lactating mothers. This episode looks into such varied cultural responses to the introduction of coffee consumption in south India, drawing from the pioneering work of A R Venkatachalapathy.

Sikkim followed a different trajectory from other former princely states. India virtually treated it as a foreign country, until early 1970s.
The final episode of the series India United explores the twists and turns of internal and external politics around Sikkim between 1947 and 1975.

Jawaharlal Nehru was firmly against hereditary monarchs. But he made an exception in the case of Sikkim.
He let Sikkim’s King stay on, until after his death. His daughter Indira Gandhi believed it was an indirect concession to China.
But there were movements within Sikkim for democracy and the end of landlordism. Political dynamics slowly began to change during the 1960s and Indira Gandhi finally decided to get R&AW officials to plot the ouster of the Simkimese king.
I look at the history of India-Sikkim relations in this fourth episode of India United.
