You’re married to a Catholic from India? Very neat! That sounds like my parents- my Mother, the daughter of a Polish immigrant and a man whose family has been here since colonial times; and my Dad, a Filipino who emigrated to the U.S. in 1975.
Her dad was a British soldier and she ended up being raised in a convent in Mumbai along with her sister; that’s how she became Catholic. She came to know many of the Goa Catholics and sisters from Portugal.
