I am always having an argument with Goans from abroad, who refuse to call 
themselves Indians.  I can agree with Goans who have lived during the 
Portuguese regime and migrated to Portugal/Brazil after liberation. Most of 
them call themselves Portuguese.

I encountered this in Brazil, in Australia, etc.  Goans refuse to call 
themselves Indians and argue with me saying I should call myself Goan and not 
Indian.  

Do the Goans in Britain call themselves Britishers even thou they have British 
passports?

Mind you most of the goans I've encountered were not born in Goa, but in some 
part of India and yet refuse to call themselves Indians.
