Treaty stipulations and election results in the aftermath of independence of the former British India in August 1947 are what caused the French to leave India. Over a 15-year period culminating with French parliamentary ratification in 1962 of the Republic's treaty with India, France let their lodges of Kozhikode, Machilipatnam, and Surat be ceded in October 1947 and their establishments of Chandernagore be ceded in May 1950 and of Karaikal, Mahe, Pondichéry, and Yanam be transfered in November 1954.

Did France governed and controlled India during the colonial period?

Partially. The French had land claims in India from 1759-1954. Although India is not generally grouped with the French Empire, but rather the British Empire.


Is French spoken in India?

With the exception of Puducherry, which used to be a small French colony, French is not really spoken at all in India. The French speakers in Puducherry are a very small number as well.Some (random) part of India was occupied by the French, while the British were the dominant ruler of the subcontinent.One such example is Pondicherry. The town has heavy french influence and French is still one of the official languages there. Google it to know more.So, the answer is yes, French is spoken by few Indians, subjects of former french colony.
