You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.192.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪SQL‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:50, 14 January 2027. Your current IP address is 44.192.246.53.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

{{Colonial India}}

[[Goa, Daman and Diu]] (Portuguese: ''Goa, Damaon & Dio'') were one of [[Portugal]]'s oldest colonies, acquired in [[1510 AD]] or the next few years.<ref>{{cite book|first=Roger|last=Crowley|year=2015|title=Conquerors: How Portugal Forged the First Global Empire|publisher=Faber & Faber|location=London}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.britishempire.co.uk/maproom/goa.htm#:~:text=Goa&text=Goa%20was%20one%20of%20Portugal's,French%20or%20her%20allied%20navies |title=Goa |publisher=Britishempire.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2021-07-06}}</ref> During the [[Napoleonic War]]s, the Portuguese were concerned at being unable to defend their empire from the predatory French or her [[Sister republic|allied]] navies.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://itsgoa.com/british-occupation-of-goa/|title=British occupation of Goa?|date=February 18, 2016|website=ItsGoa}}</ref> Due to the historic [[Anglo-Portuguese Alliance]], [[British India]] was keen to assist in Goa's security. Britain dispatched a [[History of the Royal Navy (after 1707)|Royal Navy]] squadron as well as an army of 10,000 soldiers. The British soldiers were posted at strategic locations like [[Aguada fort|Aguada]], [[Miramar, Goa|Miramar]], [[Caranzalem]], [[Raj Bhavan, Panaji|Palacio do Cabo]] and [[Mormugão fort|Morumugão]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Goa|title=Goa - History|website=Encyclopedia Britannica}}</ref> The soldiers built huge fortifications in these areas to help defend them. (These fortifications were subsequently demolished after the British departed.) This amicable agreement ended in 1813, thanks largely to the massive defeat of the French and Spanish fleets at [[Battle of Trafalgar|Trafalgar]] in 1805.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/58cf5e45-1d2d-457e-b3ae-cc533d9735e2 |title='The British Occupation of the Portuguese Settlements in India, Goa, Diu, Damaun,... &#124; The National Archives |publisher=Discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk |date= |accessdate=2021-07-06}}</ref> There are two distinct phases of the period, from 1797 to 1798 and from 1802 to 1813 (in 1814 [[Napoleon]] was exiled to the island of [[Elba]]). For the next century, no country was capable of challenging the power of the Royal Navy. Goa could benefit from [[Pax Britannica]].<ref>{{cite book|first=Frederic Charles |last=Danvers|date=1988|title=The Portuguese in India: being a history of the rise and decline of their eastern empire|publisher=Asian Educational Services|page=487}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Esdaile|first=Charles|date=2003|title=The Peninsular War|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|isbn=1-4039-6231-6}}</ref>

During this time, the Portuguese were still in charge of the administration of the territory (the local government was headed by the Viscount of Mirandela from 1794 to 1806, then by the Count of Sarzedas from 1806 to 1816).<ref>{{cite book|first1=Manoel José Gabriel|last1=Saldanha|title=História de Goa: (Política e arqueológica)|year=1990|publisher=Asian Educational Services|isbn=81-206-0590-X|language=pt}}</ref>

{{Further|British Cemetery in Panjim (Goa)}}
A military cemetery is the only evidence of the presence of British forces in Goa that was otherwise ruled by the Portuguese. There are a total of 108 tombs, the oldest of them dates to 1808 and the latest of them dates to 1912.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/dona-paulas-forgotten-british-cemetery-gets-a-new-lease-of-life/articleshow/58485876.cms |title=Dona Paula: Dona Paula's forgotten British cemetery gets a new lease of life &#124; Goa News - Times of India |publisher=Timesofindia.indiatimes.com |date=2017-05-03 |accessdate=2021-07-06}}</ref>
