Dear Tony, The following is a quote from Paulo Cola�o Dias as regards to Portuguese Nationality:
"On the other hand, if one analyses the Portuguese Nationality law as I did, one will understand that any citizen of the Antigo Estado da India born before 1961 retained their Portuguese citizenship unless he or she officially renounced it. It is very important to understand this. If an individual never renounced Portuguese Citizenship, the individual is today a Portuguese Citizen and the Portuguese Nationality Law recognizes him/her as Portuguese because he/she was born Portuguese in the Antigo Estado da India and never actually renounced Portuguese Nationality. That individual was born Portuguese in the Antigo Estado da India just like the Madeirenses were born Portuguese in Madeira and the Acoreanos were born Portuguese in Azores and the Minhotos were born Portuguese in Minho and the Lisboetas were born Portuguese in Lisbon."
