Panaji (Goa), Mar 29 (ANI): Goa’s 200-year-old British connection is not well known. However, seven kilometre from Goa’s Panaji is a cemetery, which serves as a reminder of the brief British rule in the western beach resort state, a former Portuguese colony. The cemetery is a protected site, which houses 42 graves of British officers, their families and soldiers. The cemetery was built in 1802 to establish British presence in Goa amid fears that French ruler Napoleon Bonaparte may overthrow the rulers.
