The Portuguese had a longstanding interaction with the Muslim middlemen of the overland trade with India. In fact, Portuguese was one of the languages that was used in trading. The Portuguese continued their interaction with Muslim traders after they had found the sea route to India. And they colonized areas of India that encouraged the continuation of the interaction. For example, their territories of Daman and Diu, on the west coast of India, were located near the Muslim Gujarat.
Portuguese India ended in 1961.
Portuguese India was created in 1510.
Vasco da Gama did not invade India in the traditional sense of military conquest. Instead, he was a Portuguese explorer who arrived on the Indian subcontinent in 1498, establishing a sea route to India. His arrival marked the beginning of Portuguese colonial influence in the region, facilitating trade and leading to the establishment of Portuguese settlements. While his voyages significantly impacted Indian trade and politics, they did not constitute an invasion.
