East Indians or East Indian Catholics are an ethno-religious Roman Catholic community, based in and around the city of Mumbai and North Konkan district in the present state of Maharashtra, India. These people are of the original small communities from the North Konkan regions mainly Kulbis, Samvedi Bramins, Kolis, Wadvals, Agris and Somavamshi Kshatriyas which had been evangelised by the Portuguese.
West Indians or Carribian People are the inhabitants of Carribian Islands. The archipelago is popularly known as West Indies.
Confused......East Indian people live in Western India near Mumbai and West Indian people do not live in India et al'.
All this confusion started due to voyagers like Columbus & few others who started their sea voyage from Western Europe to discover the Sea route to India and instead reached Americas. The first land/islands that they reached, they thought that it is India and thus the inhabitants of this land were termed as 'Indians'.
