Fatorda is a suburb of the city of Margao[2] in Salcete, Goa. Fatorda has been originally home to the traditional Scheduled Tribe/Scheduled Caste population.[3] The Catholic Gawda community has a very large presence in Fatorda. However, due to the increasing number of buildings in Fatorda,[4] the population has become more diverse.[4]
Fatorda has a large number of people belonging to the aboriginal Gawda community. Luis Alex Cardozo, fondly known as "Mama" Cardozo, was the leader of the Gawda community and represented the Fatorda constituency in Goa state Assembly for a long time.[7] However, the population of Fatorda has now become diverse. A number of non- Goans have now made Fatorda their home and this suburb maintains a diverse population. A multiple number of multi-storeyed residential complexes in Fatorda have led to Fatorda being a thriving suburb with a population of many communities. Although Goan Catholic Gawdas and Hindus form a dominant part of the population, there is a considerable number of Muslims in Fatorda who stay in areas such as Chandrawada.[8][9][10]
