That is correct. Those born in Goi before 1961 are all P*rtuguese citizens and once Endia 'invaded' (they were not invited!), Goichis were "naturalized" Endian citizens (by default).
Goa, D& D are the only Por*** colonies offering citizenship if not mistaken....and there is a reason for that....either the case (now withdrawn) at the UN and something in the Por*** constitution (forget which).
