I've also noticed this, specially in Calcutta ... For instance, in the otherwise rather touching (and un-stereotypical, in my view) film *Bow Barracks Forever*, almost all the "Anglo Indian" characters have very Goan names! Maybe it was a mistake which was also "backward-beneficial", if one could use such a term, to some Goans who felt flattered to be connected with the then ruling class. (The changing of surnames to Anglo-sounding ones has also been discussed here.) Never mind that it caused a confusion about understanding our identity in the bargain!
