Q. In which year was the 'Battle of Goa' fought?
Answer:

Notes: Afonso de Albuquerque attacked Goa in 1510. The ruler of Goa was the Sultan of Bijapur Ismail Adil Shah. Adil Shah was initially able to repeal him but three months later, Afonso de Albuquerque returned and there was a fierce battle in the streets of Goa, claiming the lives of the thousands of Muslim defenders. Thus Afonso de Albu-querque was able to take possession of Goa in December 1510. The battle was known as Battle of Goa (1510).
