Vatsala Kirtani was the first goan woman to be arrested by the Portuguese officers to raise a slogan Jai Hind. Therefore this day, 18June, is considered as the Goa Revolution Day since it sparked a sense of revolution among the Goans. It lightened the torch to achieve independence from the unjust rule of Portuguese. The 18 June road of Panjim is the remembrance of this.
