I just finished a book about the establishment of the portuguese empire and afterwords went to wiki to find out more about Goa. In the end it was taken over by India but only after India had asked that Goa hold a referendum on its future. So....

1) How do you persuade the Portuguese to hold a referendum?

2) which side was most likely to win?

3) what are the consequences of Goa both joining India or staying with Portugual?

4) would each side respect the results?

5) Anything I missed from this list.

Thanks for the replies
