Roman Catholic Kshatriyas or Christian Kshatriyas[1][2] (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.[3][4][5] They are known as Chardo in Goan Konkani,[6] Charodi (Kanarese Tsāroḍi) in Canarese Konkani[3] & as Sandori or Vadval in Damanese-Maharashtrian Konkani; while others identify as Khatri, Panchkalshi & Pathare in their Bombay East Indian dialects.[7][8][9][10] Some Chardos have maintained endogamy, while others have intermarried with Bamonns.[11][12]
