Resumo: In 1739 the Portuguese were expelled from the Estado da Índia’s Northern Province, leaving behind a considerable Indian Catholic population, adding to the Catholics in Bombay Island living under British administration since 1665. Known today as “East-Indians”, this ethno-religious community has a distinctive presence in the present metropolis of Mumbai, although their churches, neighborhoods and villages have been almost completely submerged by exponential urban growth. Following a brief historical context, this text addresses the fundamental themes that pervaded the construction of East-Indian collective identity from the 1730s until 1928, and how this implied re-equating and balancing notions of “foreignness” and “Indianness”.

Conhecidos atualmente como East-Indians, esta comunidade etno-religiosa tem uma presença característica na presente metrópole de Bombaim, embora as suas aldeias, igrejas e bairros tenham sido praticamente submersos pelo exponencial crescimento urbano. Após uma breve contextualização histórica, este texto abordará os temas fundamentais inerentes à construção identitária dos East-Indians desde 1737 até 1928, e como isto implicou reequacionar e equilibrar noções de “estrangeirismo” e “indianismo”.CHAM2017info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10316/84352http://hdl.handle.net/10316/84352por0874-9671Mendiratta, Sidh Daniel Losainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2019-12-26T16:08:34Zoai:estudogeral.uc.pt:10316/84352Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T21:05:56.128088Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
