Five thousand non-violent demonstrators demanding the integration of Goa into India march against the Portuguese on 15 August 1955, where they were met with gunfire, killing 22. The political integration of India occurred after Indian independence and required the integration of the territories of the British Empire, those under the control of their hereditary rulers, and several colonial enclaves controlled by France and Portugal.Film credit: Universal Studios
