Often, collectors do not know where to put the "odd stamps" that always accumulate randomly in any collection.
These stamps arrived with a "Romania Accumulation"
So we shall celebrate them, with all their nicks and tears.
The poor and downtrodden are always welcome at my place.

Portuguese India , officially the State of India (Portuguese: Estado da Índia), was the
aggregate of Portugal's colonial holdings in India.
The Portuguese State of India was established in 1505 as a viceroyalty of the Kingdom of
Portugal, six years after the discovery of a sea route between Portugal and India, to serve
as the plenipotentiary governing body of a string of Portuguese fortresses and colonies
overseas. The first viceroy was Francisco de Almeida, who established his headquarters
in Cochin (Cochim, Kochi). Subsequent Portuguese governors were not always of
vice-roy rank. After 1510, the capital of the Portuguese viceroyalty was transferred to
Goa. Until the 18th Century, the Portuguese governor in Goa had authority over all
Portuguese possessions in the Indian Ocean, from southern Africa to southeast Asia. In
1752 Mozambique got its own separate government and in 1844 the Portuguese
Government of India stopped administering the territory of Macau, Solor and Timor, and
its authority was confined to the colonial holdings on the Malabar coast of India.
At the time of British India's independence in 1947, Portuguese India included a number
of enclaves on India's western coast, including Goa proper, as well as the coastal enclaves
of Daman (Portuguese: Damão) and Diu, and the enclaves of Dadra and Nagar Haveli,
which lie inland from Daman. The territories of Portuguese India were sometimes
referred to collectively as Goa. Portugal lost the last two enclaves in 1954, and finally the
remaining three in December 1961, when they were taken by India after military action
(although Portugal recognised Indian control only in 1975, after the Carnation Revolution
and the fall of the Estado Novo regime).
