Frederick Noronha, in an article entitled, "Communal cauldron : Goa isn't doing
enough to hold things in check" [5] writes:
"Misunderstandings mark relationships between Goa's three main communities. If
the
20th century in Goa was spent in caste battles -- Brahmins versus Chardos among
the
Catholics, and Bahujans versus the 'upper' castes among the Hindus - now the
focus
is going to building suspicion among different religious groups."

"We find old Goan surnames in 16th century Portuguese records. Cited here,
largely,
is a sampling from Salcete. The most common generic Gaud Saraswat Brahmin (GSB)
surnames were Nayak/Naik, Pai/Poy, Prabhu/Porob and Xennai/Shenvi/Sinai."
