    I know Portugal was already established in South Asia (spice trading & colonies like Goa & Portuguese India) by the time Sikhism was founded.

    Tried finding more specific info re the Portuguese & Sikhism, but Wikisource books like The Sikh Religion don’t have a search function.

    Did find this: Makhan Shah Labana, a key figure in early Sikhism, was a wealthy merchant who travelled to many places, including Portugal (although whether that actually means the “motherland” in Iberia or its territories in South or South-East Asia, I don’t know) & learned several languages, including Portuguese.
