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.
