The Portugal sovereignty lasted long after the British rule ended, till 1961. When the Portuguese rule ended, many Goans were forcefully made to leave Goa and had to let go of all their belongings. Recently there have been certain laws which have been formed which enable Goans to obtain Portuguese nationality.
