Apparently the Portuguese garrison of Goa was 12,000 soldiers at one point, but by the time the Indians invaded in 1961, it was 3,500. As a result, Goa was overrun quickly with minimal losses to everyone.
What if the garrison had been kept at 12,000 and the Indians invaded anyway?
I imagine the Portuguese would still lose, but they might be able to drag it out longer and there'd be butterflies from this. Even OTL, they did win some tactical victories despite losing overall.
