The third episode of Konkan Uprising, our special series of the liberation of Goa, focuses on the economic blockade during the late 1950s. India did not want to make a military intervention, even though diplomatic relations broke down irrevocably. Instead, it imposed an economic sanction, since trade with India made up the lifeline of the Goan economy. India hoped that the boka class would choke the Goan economy, forcing Portugal to hand over Goa to India. What followed was its exact opposite. Goa actually became quite prosperous during the years the blockade was in effect. It set off an unprecedented mining boom, and a general deuce towards industrialisation. This episode explores that paradox.

The third episode of The Konkan Rising, a four-part series on the liberation of Goa on HistoryChatter, explores that irony.
