wiki has some info on my ethnicity !
East Indians are a Marathi-speaking, Roman Catholic ethnic group, based in and around the city of Mumbai in the state of Maharashtra. These people are of the original Marathi ethnic group and had been evangelized by the Portuguese, while retaining much of their pre-Christian traditions.
Bombay was formerly under the Portuguese in the 1500s; and East-Indians were then known as Bombay Portuguese. Bombay then became increasingly anglicized after the handover to the British in the 1600s. Under the British, they were known as Bombay Portuguese too, but, when immigrants from Portuguese-ruled Goa began to enter Bombay, in order to distinguish themselves from the Goans (whom the British also called Portuguese), they renamed themselves “East Indians”, purportedly after their affiliation to the British as locals of Bombay and as such to be distinguished from the Goan Catholics and the Mangalorean Catholics. In the 1960s, the Archdiocese of Bombay estimated that there were 92,000 East Indians in Mumbai out of which 76,000 were in suburban Mumbai and 16,000 in urban Mumbai.
