Title: | Framing Identity: Bombay's East-Indian Community and its Indo-Portuguese historical background (1737-1928) | Authors: | Mendiratta, Sidh Daniel Losa | Keywords: | Mumbai; Portugal; East-Indian; Christian; Church; Identity; Mumbai; Portugal; East-Indian; Cristianismo; Igreja; Identidade | Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | CHAM | Project: | SFRH/BPD/89298/2012 | metadata.degois.publication.title: | Anais de História de Além-Mar | metadata.degois.publication.issue: | 18 | metadata.degois.publication.location: | Lisboa, Ponta Delgada | Abstract: | 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”. Em 1739, os Portugueses foram expulsos da Província do Norte do Estado da Índia, deixando para trás uma considerável população indiana católica, para além dos católicos de Bombaim, a viver sob administração britânica desde 1665. 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”. |
