Goa is the smallest Indian state located in the west of India in the region known as the Konkan. The official locally spoken language is Konkani. Some older people still speak Portuguese and are proud of their Portuguese heritage, and because of the developed tourism, many Goans speak English as well. Goa is considered to be the richest state of India mainly due to its beaches, tropical vegetation and the world heritage architecture which attracts a lot of visitors. The capital of Goa is Panaji (earlier Panjim), the largest city Vasco da Gama and Portuguese influence can be observed mostly in Margao and in Old Goa.
What makes Goa so interesting is a special mixture which developed during its
complicated history and various influences.
The first recorded empire was ruled by the Buddhist Emperor Ashoka of Magadha in the 3rd century BC. From 2nd to 10th century AD, Goa was ruled by the succession of various Hindu dynasties. In 1312 it came under the governance of Delhi Sultanate, but the grip of the sultan on the region was weak and he had to surrender to Vijayanagara monarchs who made attempts to advert the Islamic invasions. They lasted until 1646 although their power declined after a major military defeat in 1565 by the Deccan sultanates. At the end of the 15th century, Vasco de Gama discovered a new route to India and Goa became an ideal base for seafaring Portuguese and their spices trade. They conquered Goa in 1510 and their rule lasted until 1961 (nearly 450 years) when Goa was annexed by India.
