Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Dadra and Nagar Haveli were under French colonial rule till 1954
Dadra and Nagar Haveli were Portuguese, not French, possessions; they were liberated from Portuguese rule in July 1954 and formally integrated with India in 1961, so statement (d) is incorrect. The other statements are factually correct: Goa became a state on 30 May 1987; Diu lies in the Gulf of Khambhat; and Goa’s statehood and the separation of Daman & Diu were effected by the 56th Constitutional Amendment.
