When Goa was not the Part of India. Who was the ruler of Goa?

Goa on India's western coast was freed from Portuguese rule on 19^th December 1961, more than four centuries after it was colonized. The fight for freedom began in the 1940s as India inched closer to independence from British rule. The Portuguese rule lasted for about 450 years, and heavily influenced Goan culture, cuisine, and architecture.
