<div id="ygrps-yiv-1245422259">I come close to being an expert on the subject of<br/>
colonies in India.  Just to give you some information<br/>
on the French and Portuguese colonies, all of them<br/>
remain (except the French semi-colonies called loges<br/>
and maybe Goretty) as administrative area of some kind<br/>
or other.  You should check the Indian Census<br/>
Handbooks to look at the crazy quilt borders.<br/>
There were three Danish territories that remained<br/>
until 1845 when they were handed over to England. <br/>
Earlier, there were territories abandoned.<br/>
There was also Dutch territories in India which were<br/>
handed over in 1825.  I know, as one of them was in<br/>
Dhaka.  I found out that the hospital where my cousin<br/>
had his residency was actually on one-time Dutch<br/>
territory.<br/>
