Konkani language agitation

The Konkani language agitations were a series of protests led by Goans between 1961 and 1987 that advocated for Konkani as the official language in the former union territory of Goa, Daman and Diu. It involved citizen journalism, student activism, and political demonstrations; as Konkani was denied official status, even after it was established that Konkani is not a dialect of Marathi in 1975.
