Since then various dynasties have ruled Goa like Rashtrakutas, Kadambas, Silaharas, Chalukyas, Bahamani, Muslims and most famously the Portuguese. This land was liberated by the Indian Army on December 19, 1961 from the Portuguese and became Union Territory of India along with the enclaves of Daman and Diu. On May 30, 1987 Goa was conferred statehood and became the one of 28th states of the Indian Republic.
