Since the 15th century, India has had many nationalities residing within her borders. After the demise of the [[Mughal empire]], the single most significant group to control India have been the British, who controlled large portions of the continent from about 1599 to 1947. Several other European nations had small holdings in India, which were eventually absorbed into [[British India]] by conquest or sale. For specific advice on researching family history of these nationalities resident in India, see the [[Dutch]], [[French]], [[German]], [[Portuguese]] and [[Danish]] articles.
Other ethnic groups came to India as traders and were part of the community in which they resided, rather than a separate state. For specific advice on researching family history of these nationalities resident in India, see the [[Armenian]] and [[Jewish]] articles.
