Talk:Goa/Archive 1

message: India finally liberated Goa from 450 years of Portuguese Rule on 19th December 1961 - this doesn't sound particularly NPOV, but as I know nothing of the history, how did this happen?  Did India invade and take the place over?  Can someone who knows what happened please rewrite this sentence? RickK 05:38, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)

message: I have made major changes in the historical account of Goa, correcting it to remove Indian mythology and replace it with the facts. However, in the process, I recognize that the page needs to be reformatted or that it needs to be re-organized in a better manner. Regards. Lucio Mas 15:11, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Your new history section was way way way too long. The history section should be limited to a summary of a few paragraphs. The main History of Goa article is the place to elaborate the full history. Kaldari 01:02, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Did Nehru "instigate" Indians against Goa? FN would like us to believe not, but the facts say otherwise. Turning to the Wikipedia page on Nehru we read: Though Nehru professed distaste for armed force, during his administration the Home Minister Sardar Patel used India's army to secure, for instance, Hyderabad in September 1948; later Portuguese-colonized Goa in December 1961 was incorporated into India through a bloodless military takeover. This is an altered version; the one I saw a few months ago explicitly "credited" Vallabh Patel for India's 1961 actions. However, it is a fact that Valabh Patel died in 1950, eleven years before "he" committed the crimes against Goa in 1961! 
As for Chandernagore, I will admit that the Wikipedia article does not say anything about Indian mobs overrunning the place. However, I had read it years ago, at a time I had not started my habit of collecting sources, so that I cannot offer positive proof. The internet pages on Chandernagore that I have seen, run by Indians, do not mention these mobs. So, did they not happen? It would seem to be so - unless one pays attention to curious things and uses one's brains. For one thing, France was ruling not merely Chandernagore, but also Pondicherry, Yanam, Mahe de Labordonnais and Karaikal; yet they declared only Chandernagore a Free City in 1947, handed it over to the locals, and then ceded it to India after a plebiscite. Is there any logical reason why they did this only in Chandernagore, and not in the other four territories? France handed over the remaining four only later, in 1954, which is a full four years after. Why? The questions are all interesting, and, for now, there are no answers.

message: 	Goa - the present day name of this small state on the Western coast of India was given by Portuguese who invaded Goa in the year 1510 AD. The name of a town which is known as Old Goa today was earlier known as Goy. 
After commencement of Portuguese Inquisition in 1536, Portuguese Jews who fled to Portuguese Goa settled in the town with native non-Jews whom they called Goy (meaning non-jews). The name Goy is derived from Hebrew/(Yiddish) language. Yiddish is a German language spoken mainly by Jews in eastern and Central Europe. 157.33.124.79 (talk) 19:26, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

message: Goa is also famous for Carnival. It is the most famous festival in the state and has been celebrated since the 18th century as a precursor to the abstinence of Lent. The 'Carnaval' is exclusive and unique to Goa, and was introduced by the Portuguese who ruled over Goa for over five hundred years. JacintaCarolina (talk) 19:23, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: Carnival is not mentioned in the Culture of Goa article; what's here should be the highlights of that article. Further, you have not provided any reliable sources —C.Fred (talk) 19:30, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

message: Goa is not on the southwestern coast of India. It is in Western India; see page ii of ‘Native Officialdom in Western India’ by Abhijit Siredesai. 
Please refer to the Western India Wikipedia page for internal wiki consistency regarding this. In addition, there is no mention of Goa in the South India page and therefore the description of it being on the southwestern coast, especially without a reliable citation, is inaccurate and requires a correction. Goingoan (talk) 19:54, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It's the southernmost state in Western India, so I don't think southwest coast is inaccurate in a general geographic description. —C.Fred (talk) 20:01, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: No reliable published or peer reviewed documents describe it as being located in southwestern India. For example, Odisha is the southernmost state in Eastern India, but is not labelled as being in southeastern India. I have reverted the edit to reflect the original source.

replies: text:  Ah yes, arguing from the negative. How could anyone disprove you? They'd have to read every reliable source and peer-reviewed document... Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:33, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  The descriptor "southwestern coast" was as per the consensus at WP:INB, according to which we agreed to follow geographical definitions for Indian states and UTs as written in Britannica, instead of government definitions since government definitions change depending on the organization. Goingoan has been disruptively going against that consensus since then. See diff, diff and now today. Also note that "southwestern coast" described geographically is not the same as southern India. The Andhra Pradesh article also uses similar geographical identifier, and its northern areas are far above Goa latitude-wise. Restoring. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:54, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
