==Early life== Ermelinda Cardozo was born on 7 May 1908, to Paulo Faustino Cardoso and Maria Joaquina de Souza in the island of Divar, Goa, which was part of Portuguese India during the Portuguese Empire. Suffering from financial constraints from early days of her life, she never really had any formal education as her parents brought her to Bombay, British India in search of work. She was illiterate.
