"In Goa, Lohia was arrested for the first time on June 18, 1946, after he
courted arrest by defying Portuguese rule and addressing a large public
meeting in Margao. He was arrested again later that year in September 1946
upon his return to Goa, when he was jailed for ten days at Aguada fort.

Lohia was arrested as many as 25 times for participation in freedom
movements of India, Goa and Nepal and civil disobedience movements in free
India and in America.

He always stood for the anti-imperialist and anti-colonial revolution. He
had deep sympathy for the equal rights movement launched by American
Blacks. He symbolically participated in it. In the US, he was refused entry
into a restaurant and was arrested when he insisted on entering it."
