It should also be noted that the guy who arranged the seminar on Portuguese

As far as I know, the original Bharat no longer exists. It ceased to exist when

Dear Victor,
In 1757, King Joseph I of Portugal issued a decree penned by his prime
minister, the Marquês de Pombal, granting the Portuguese citizenship and
representation to all subjects in the Portuguese Indies. The enclaves of Goa,
Damão, Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli became collectively
now, but nonetheless is a veritable clown show.
Cheers,
