Goa liberation day signifies the day when goa was released of portuguese dominance by assistance from the Indian Armed Force. This day is celebrated to mark the Indian Armed Forces' annexation of Goa from the Portuguese government in 1961. Indeed, the liberation helped the people of Goa to relieve themselves from the exploitative rules of Portuguese.
