Portuguese people in Pakistan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Portuguese people in Pakistan Portuguese people in Pakistan are citizens or residents of Pakistan who are of Portuguese background. ==Background== The presence of a small Portuguese community in what is modern-day Pakistan is historically known. Most people of Portuguese extract can be found among the country's Goan community, concentrated in Karachi much before the independence of Pakistan. These settlers hailed from Goa in Western India and in order to avail economic opportunities, migrated to major commercial centres during the British Raj, Karachi being among them. In 1510, Goa was annexed by the Portuguese as one of its overseas colonies in India, and remained under Portuguese rule until the Indian annexation of Goa in 1961. During that period, the Goans remained Portuguese subjects and many who had settled in Karachi carried Portuguese passports, which they later relinquished for Pakistani citizenship.〔 Portuguese rule in Goa established the presence of a Goan Catholic community, and exhibited Portuguese influences in Goan culture, language and cuisine, which the migrants brought along with them to Karachi.〔 At the time of the partition in 1947, it is estimated that the Goan community in Karachi numbered up to 15,000.〔
