I think they may survive as in OTL in countries not ruled by Catholics, until the anti-Jesuit currents fade elsewhere.I don't think the Order of Jesus might be reestablished in 1817, as OTL

Good update; I see the butterflies flapping already...
Waiting for more; Portugal probably does better ITTL in terms of Indian territory...
When the Portuguese arrived at the Indian Subcontinent in the beginning of the 16th century, the dominant power there was the Central-Asia-born Islamic Mughal Empire. The Portuguese movement into Indian Subcontinent took place at same time as the Mughal Empire own movement south from their base around the Ganges River and for most part Portuguese interaction with the Mughal was limited to trade and the conquest of Indian outposts was directed against local Indian rulers.
I personalty think India will get out of this the Winner, I don't see Britain dominating the Subcontinent as totally TTL and Portugal wants a market most of all without the ability to forcefully take it so must resort to more diplomatic means. India thus will be the overall winner by keeping a semblance of Independence, though it won't be a single united nation post decolonization.
The portuguese conquered Goa in 1510, when the main powers of India were the Vijayanagari, the Delhi Sultanate and, regionally, the Bijapur Sultanate. Babur only conquered Delhi in 1526, iirc, and the Mughals only became a true powerhouse and started expanding south onto the Deccan during the reign of Akbar I, from 1556 to the 17th century, when the Portuguese Empire was already consolidated and was inteed entering a period of decay, with no more conquests from that point on! So it is a bit wrong to give such relevance to the Mughals in such a date. Let's see where the Maratha infighting will get Portugal to!
Don't you mean Thursday, Lusitania.
Good updates, though...
BTW, I like the hints you're dropping about the future of TTL; Goa and Daman expanding sooner than OTL is causing the butterflies to flap in some interesting directions...
Waiting for more...
We still have about 5-6 weeks of updates to finish book 1. We are half way in writing book 2 which cover 1777 -1799 and it already has grown to over 65 MB. As for when we will start posting book II we have to determine since there are some items we want update and finalize before we begin posting it.Good update; looks like book 1 is soon to come to an end and book 2 (1777-1801)...
