Reason
This was an important event in the history of the Indian state of Goa. It's good to counter systemic bias when possible, and fortunately this newsreel footage was released into the public domain in 1976.

  • Comment, agreed, some of this Internet Archive stuff is not the greatest quality--and I have no reason to believe there aren't better versions of the stuff out there. I'm not sure why TIA doesn't host better versions because I'm sure they could get it from the original reels. gren グレン 06:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
