That was a very interesting article Eric. Thanks for enriching our knowledge. However, I could not figure out one of the statements. viz. that the local Christian population in Bandra were called 'East Indians" due to their close relationship with the East India Company. Local Christians all over Bombay, whether in Mazagaon or Andheri or Sahar or Kurla or Chembur and even in Vasai (Bassein), Uttan, Bhayandar, Nala Sopara etc are all generically called "East Indians'.
