Roman Catholic Kshatriyas (also simply Cxatrias in Romi Konkani, Indo-Portuguese & Indian English) are a modern Christianised caste among Goan, Bombay East Indian, Mangalorean, Kudali & Karwari Catholics. They are patrilineal descendants of Kshatriya and Vaishya Vani converts to the Latin Church, in parts of the Konkan region that were under Portuguese Goan rule.[1][2][3] They are known as Chardo in Goan Konkani,[4] Charodi (Kanarese Tsāroḍi) in Canarese Konkani[1] & as Sandori or Vadval in Damanese-Maharashtrian Konkani; while others also identify as Bhandari or Khatri in their Bombay East Indian dialects.[5][6]
