Now do not mix apples with oranges, ie.: Goans and Indians are different
fruits. Many African de Africa friends call me Goan and not Indian.

There are some in East Africa who would subscribe with BC's view.
Coincidentally from The Kenya Times of today:
Indian 'nation' of commerce. By David G. Maillu
13 Apr: 2006. Kenya Times. Excerpts
. The Indian nation, imposed on Kenyans by the British colonial
kleptomania, brought three distinct communities, The Hindu, the Goan,
and the rest. Initially, these three groups have lived with practical
dislike for one another. The Goans, coming from the Christian colony,
were actually the first ones to be sympathetic with the natives,
perhaps, because they found comrades sharing the same religion. They
expressed their solidarity even through marriage at a time the other two
groups protected their women the way lions protect their young ones from
predators .
