Historic Fiction Authors whose novels are based in the late nineteenth century in India

Hi,
I am writing a novel based in nineteenth century India and Portugal. Are there any famous novels based in a similar era and in either one or both of these countries?
Appreciate any help!
Thanks,
June

Well, offhand, I can't think of any set in Portugal, but for India, there's The Far Pavilions by M. M. Kaye, and Kim by Rudyard Kipling.

Looks as though the biggest area of overlap is Bernard Cornwell.

I looked too and couldn’t find that combination. Looks like that might be a ripe area for an aspiring novelist. Portugal was an early colonizer after all.

I did find an epic poem called The Lusiads.

Based in India, there's The Siege of Krishnapur, by J.G. Farrell, which, by the way, was excellent.

Thanks everyone. Very helpful - it spurred me on to write a novel to bridge the gap, as it were. And it's been published - available at all good bookstores online. It's called 'They Whisper in my Blood'.
Here's the back cover blurb: They Whisper in my Blood is a love story, a sweeping tale of a Portuguese-Indian family’s history told through a poignant refrain that is this clan’s nemesis. It screams across time and continents. There’s murder, girl-child trafficking, a torrid mixed-race affair and homophobia, all of which beget intrigue, sensuousness, heartache . . . but always hope. The characters – visceral, impassioned and deeply flawed – stay with you long after the last page is turned.
The Portuguese were the first European colonizers of India and ruled Portuguese India – Portuguese Estado da Índia – for four and a half centuries. Their legacy endures even today in the lives of their descendants, one of whom is differential, intelligent, beautiful Perpetua – Pippa – Cabral, the heartsick protagonist in this novel.
