It is a common practice among emigrants from my district (and there have been thousands of them) to use the name (or a variation) of their village or district as their last name (Jhunjhunwala, Bagri etc). May be you should check out Bissau in Jhunjhunu as well. I don’t know about “Ghagiphur”, but my district “Jhunjhunu” (in North Rajasthan) has a village by the name of “Bissau”.

A certain insularity may well in fact be one of the conditions of belonging. There is woeful ignorance of what goes on beyond borders even among the Caribbean islands.
