If one examines a currently valid passport of any country, irrespective of whether the passport holder was born in foreign colonial captivity or not in the past, it becomes clear that both Shri Falcao and Shri Sanches have been misled. A citizen and passport holder of a country also holds its nationality. As an Indian citizen all Falcao has to do to ascertain this fact is to look at the page of his Indian passport that has his mugshot. One of the personal attributes listed on that page is nationality. Falcao's nationality would be stated as being Indian on his Indian passport. Please see for example the pertinent page of Aishwarya Rai's Indian passport at this link, indicating that this Indian citizen has an Indian nationality:

Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PRTpassportdatapage.png The nationality of a U.S. citizen who was born in India is U.S., not Indian.
