If you had Dutch ancestors who lived in India, a useful association is the Dutch Indies Genealogical Association. Although their main focus is what is now called Indonesia, the Dutch Indies Genealogical Association can also help with Dutch genealogy in India. The association is called Indische Genealogische Vereniging in Dutch. They have a useful website

For webpages which are not available in English, you can obtain a computer produced translation of the webpage using Google Translate, (by entering the URL of the website, or text), or your browser may have an automatic facility.

The Dutch Indies Genealogical Association sells publications, including a DVD of records from multiple sources. Note both the DVD and the webpage describing the DVD, are in Dutch. If the webpage does not display the contents of the DVD, click on Beschrijving. Google Translate for reasons unknown, does not display the entire current webpage, but see Google Translate English version of an earlier webpage, now archived, which however may contain some inaccuracies.
The contents of the DVD is also available on IGV Publicaties USB Stick also referred to as "USB stick 1: IGV Publicaties", and additionally there is also "IGV Bronnen USB Stick" also referred to as "USB stick 2: IGV Bronnen", which can be purchased separately, or the two together for a discounted amount. At 2019/10/13, the DVD was sold out, so in the future it may be necessary to purchase the USB stick.
