(EN) The Diu Fort, is located on the west coast of India in Diu, a Union Territory, administered by the Government of India. The fort was built by the Portuguese during their colonial rule of the Diu island. The Diu town is located to the west of the fort. The fort was built in 1535 subsequent to a defense alliance forged by Bahadur Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat and the Portuguese when Humayun, the Mughal Emperor waged war to annex this territory. The fort was strengthened over the years, till 1546. Portuguese ruled over this territory from 1537 (from the year they took control of the fort and also the Diu town fully) till 1961 (for 424 years, the longest period by any colonial rule in the world) they were forced to quit only in December 1961 (even though India became an independent country in 1947) during a military action called the "Operation Vijay" launched by the Government of India, whereafter Diu was merged with India and became a centrally administered Union Territory {UT). The importance of the Diu Fort was highlighted by an opinion poll conducted (through the Internet and telephone when 239418 people participated in Portugal) by the Portuguese (Portuguese government's initiative) to list out the New Seven Wonders of Portugal built during their colonial rule. The Diu fort and the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa were chosen as the two wonders from India, among the seven from across the world, out of a list of 27 monuments built in 16 countries during the Portuguese <b>...</b>

    Diu

    Diu is a city in Diu district in the union territory of Daman and Diu, India. It was the location of the pivotal Battle of Diu in 1509 between Portugal and a combined force of Turkey, Egypt, Venice, the Republic of Ragusa (now known as Dubrovnik) and the then Sultan of Gujarat, Mahmud Begada.

    Diu District is an island lying off the south coast of Gujarat's Kathiawar peninsula, separated from the mainland by a tidal creek. It has an area of 40 km², and a population of 44,110 (2001 census). The town of Diu lies at the eastern end of the island, and is known for its fortress and old Portuguese Cathedral. It is also a fishing town. The village of Ghoghla, which lies on the mainland opposite the eastern end of the island, is also part of the union territory.

    In 1535 Bahadur Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat, concluded a defensive alliance with the Portuguese against the Mughal emperor Humayun, and allowed the Portuguese to construct the Diu Fort and maintain a garrison on the island. The alliance quickly unraveled, and attempts by the Sultans to oust the Portuguese from Diu between 1537 and 1546 failed. The Siege of Diu by the Ottoman Empire in 1538 was unsuccessful to repel the Portuguese. The fortress, completed by Dom João de Castro after the siege of 1545, still stands. The island was occupied by the Indian military on 19 December 1961.

    Diu is listed by the name Dangarvadi on Google Maps.

    History

    In 1535 Bahadur Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat, concluded a defensive alliance with the Portuguese against the Mughal emperor Humayun, and allowed the Portuguese to construct the Diu Fort and maintain a garrison on the island. The alliance quickly unraveled, and attempts by the Sultans to oust the Portuguese from Diu between 1537 and 1546 failed. The Siege of Diu by the Ottoman Empire in 1538 was unsuccessful to repel the Portuguese. The fortress, completed by Dom João de Castro after the siege of 1545, still stands. The island was occupied by the Indian military on 19 December 1961.

    Diu was a city of great commercial movement when the Portuguese arrived in India. In 1513, the Portuguese tried to establish an outpost there, but negotiations were unsuccessful. In 1531 the attempt of conquest waged by D. Nuno da Cunha was also not successful. However, Diu came to be offered to the Portuguese in 1535 as a reward for military aid they gave to the Sultan Bahadur Shah of Gujarat, against the Great Mogul of Delhi. So coveted since the times of Tristan da Cunha and Albuquerque, and after failed attempts of Diogo Lopes de Sequeira in 1521, Nuno da Cunha in 1523, Diu was offered to the Portuguese, who soon turned the old fortress Portuguese castle.

    Repented of his generosity, Bahadur Shah sought to recover Diu, but was defeated and killed by the Portuguese, followed by a period of war between them and the people of Gujarat, in 1538, came to lay siege to Diu. Coja Sofar, lord of Cambay, together with the Turkish Suleiman Pasha, and it was then faced with the heroic resistance of Anthony Silveira. A second siege will be imposed after the IUD, the same Coja Sofar, in 1546, leaving the Portuguese conquerors, led ashore by D. John Mascarenhas, and at sea, by D. João de Castro. Perished in the struggle itself Coja Sofar and D. Fernando de Castro (son of the Portuguese viceroy).

    After this second siege, Diu was so fortified that could withstand later attacks of the Arabs of Muscat and the Dutch (in the late seventeenth century). From the eighteenth century, declined the strategic importance of Diu, which came to be reduced to a museum or historical landmark of its grandeur of old commercial and strategic bulwark in the struggle between the forces of the Islamic East and Christian West.

    Diu remained in the possession of the Portuguese from 1535 until 1961, been falling in the possession of the troops of the Indian Union, which invaded all the former Portuguese India at the time of Nehru.
