What that actually means is that those born in Goa before 1961 are still Portuguese citizens even today according to Portuguese law.

While superior quality timber was often reserved for the production of altars and fine pieces of furniture in Goan houses, the timber used for windows was inferior in comparison. The nacre of the mother-of-pearl, which is otherwise a waste material, was then cut into lozenge shapes and slid int
