PORTUGUESE INDIA


Portugal sought territory in India after Vasco Da Gama 's successful voyage round the Cape Of Good Hope
in 1497 - 1498 . The three enclaves of Goa (1505), Damao (1531) and Diu (1534) were annexed to collectively form the colony of Portuguese India .

Goa, including the capital Pangim (now Panaji ), is on the Malabar coast of SW India, roughly midway between
Bombay and Bangalore . Damao (now called Daman ) is on the west coast, at the entrance to the Gulf Of Cambay , about 100 miles north of Bombay. Diu, which includes the towns of Diu and Simbor , is a small island
(15 sq. miles) off the south coast of Kathiawar peninsula in western India.

The first stamps were issued 1 October 1871 . Stamps of British India were also valid until 1877 .
Standard Portuguese types such as the Ceres issue were used until 1925 when specific types began to
be produced. All stamps were inscribed INDIA in some way; from 1946 , the inscription was usually
ESTADO DA INDIA.

In 1950 , newly independent India demanded the transfer of the Portuguese territories but Portugal
refused. India set up a land blockade in 1954 and then annexed the territories on 17 December 1961 .
Stamps of India were introduced on 29 December 1961 .

Goa became a State of India in 1987 while Daman and Diu (combined) is a Union Territory.
