Goa Revolution Day “Goa Revolution Day” is commemorated annually on 18th June, to honour the freedom fighters and martyrs, ushered the dawn of democracy in 1946 on this very date when the Indian Socialist leader, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, courted arrest on June 18, 1946, by defiantly addressing a mammoth meeting at Margao and called on the youth to break the shackles of foreign rule. Dr. Lohia launched a unique mass Satyagraha for civil liberties and thus set the freedom movement in Goa rolling ahead in conjunction with the national freedom struggle launched by the Father of Nation through his stirring historic call to alien rulers to Quit India. However, interestingly one must read about others involved in the movement. Browse through: “Jai Hind! Mahatma Gandhi-ki- Jai! Dr Lohia-ki Jai!
