No clue on the history or context on Portuguese Goa, though interested to know how much larger Goa could have grown in a scenario where much of India still becomes part of the British Empire?

Easy look at my TL
Ok there are several maps about India. The additions are listed after each war. If you interested look at the links and look for wars in India.
Yes we also had a Portuguese-Mysore war beforehand that resulted in Goa receiving territory in South. During the 18th century Goa doubled in size IOTL and in my TL it does so again by gaining territory from Maratha and Mysore. It was really only in the later 18th and early 19th century that British boxed the Portuguese in.Found the following post that appears to indicate ATL Goa gaining parts of Uttara Kannada (north of Kumta), Maharashtra (possibly limited to Sindhudurg and Kolhapur) and the Belgaum District?

Actually the British East company at one time wanted to take over Portuguese India and give Portuguese Malacca instead. Therefore the situation iOTL was not the best. Also after 1750 is when the Maratha start declining, So the best would be the Portuguese never enter the Iberian union in 1580 and do not give the British Bombay. Keep their northern provinces and continue expanding Goa and also keep the southern cities. Thus controlling all or majority of Western Indian Coast and British / French on Bay of Bengal.I see, have yourself or any fans of the TL created a Q-BAM / M-BAM map on ATL expanded Goa?
Also wonder via an earlier POD or few, a TL could be formed where the Portuguese and British come to an agreement where the former gains a similar amount of territory for Goa in return for ceding ATL territory in other parts of the Portuguese Empire to the British pre-1820 or would it require more changes beyond the scope of this thread?

But are we talking about Portuguese India or Portuguese east Asia?It is more ATL adjustment of the Portuguese Empire's gains and losses, understand they had quite a presence in OTL Eastern Indonesia outside of Timor though whether they could make further gains to offset ATL losses elsewhere is another matter.

Well Portuguese Timor till early 19th century included the island of Flores. but the betrayal of the governor of Timor in selling the island of Flores stripped the Portuguese of the territory.More the Portuguese Empire as a whole, which is something that deserves its own thread at some point.
