2. Goa, Daman, and Diu: These territories were also under Portuguese rule and became part of India in 1961 after the Indian military intervention. Prior to this, Goa, Daman, and Diu were separate territories, but they merged into a single union territory.

3. Pondicherry: It became part of India in 1954. Pondicherry was a French colony, and its union territories, including Pondicherry, Karikal, Mahe, and Yanam, were integrated into India after the French handed over control.
