Talk:Daman and Diu

Untitled
How far is Diu from Bombay and what are the means to travel?
 * Pretty far. The only way is by rail/road. There's no sea travel. Air links to the nearest place is I think Rajkot? =Nichalp   «Talk»=  July 3, 2005 18:17 (UTC)

NPOV?

 * Goa, Daman, and Diu were liberated by the Republic of India on December 19, 1961

Is this NPOV? One might as well say that they were "invaded" by the Republic of India on December 19, 1961... FilipeS 20:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

The colonial Portugese came thousands of miles to occupy Daman and Diu and other territory of India. Indians (People of Daman and Diu and other part of the great Indian nation) liberated it from the Portugese colonial rule after a long freedom struggle.

The military option was the last one since Portugese was holding on to Indian territory using military means and the Portugese has no right to claim Indian land. Even the Portugese government has later admitted it.

 * All of which is irrelevant. The fact is that "liberated" is a value judgment, and as such has no place in Wikipedia.  Wikipedia presents the facts, it does not offer an opinion on whether something is right or not.  While it is not always easy to do so, we need to ensure that we use neutral language wherever possible.  For that reason, both "liberated" and "invasion" are unacceptable.

Stupid recording

Official languages
According to "The Goa, Daman and Diu Official Language Act, 1987" and the "Commissioner Linguistic Minorities 42nd Report, 2003", the official languages in Daman and Diu are Gujarati, Marathi and English. No mention of Portuguese is made anymore. Regards, Zack Holly Venturi (talk) 12:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Excellent, but there is no more a "Goa, Daman and Diu territory", to which this doicument makes reference. Today we have Goa state, and Daman and Diu territory. Besides that, ethnologue website says Portuguese is an official language in Goa:
