Subsequent Events
Major General Candeth was appointed as the military Governor of Goa. In 1963 the Parliament of India passed the 12th Amendment Act to the Constitution of India, formally integrating the captured territories into the Indian Union. Goa, Daman and Diu became a Union Territory. Dadra and Nagar Haveli which was previously a part of the Estado da India, but independent between 1954 and 1961, became a separate Union Territory.
In October 1962 Panchayat elections were held in Goa followed by assembly elections in December 1962. On 16 January 1967 a referendum was held in which the people of Goa voted against merger with Maharashtra. Portugal recognised Goa's accession into the Indian union only in 1974. In 1987 Goa was separated from Daman and Diu and made a full fledged-state. Daman and Diu continued as a new Union Territory.
Due to Unabated influx of People from all over India to Goa, the native Goan People have begun to fear for their identity and culture. There are growing calls for the Government of India to grant Goa Special Status so that the local government can regulate in-migration and stop sale of land to non Goans.
