Portuguese India ( or Estado da Índia) was the aggregate of
Portugal's colonial holdings in
India. At the time of British India's independence in
1947, Portuguese India included a number of
enclaves on India's western coast, including
Goa proper, as well as the
coastal enclaves of
Daman (Port: Damão) and
Diu, and the enclaves of
Dadra and Nagar Haveli, which lie inland from Daman. The territories of Portuguese India were sometimes referred to collectively as Goa.
