Indian peers and baronets

Following the final collapse of the Mughal Empire in 1857 and the proclamation of the British Indian Empire, the British continued to maintain and recognise many of the old Mughal and Hindu styles and titles, introducing a compound honours system which awarded those titles along with British noble and aristocratic titles and knighthoods. Uniquely, the Indian subcontinent was the only part of the British dominion where British hereditary titles were conferred upon British subjects not of European ancestry. All British titles and honours became obsolete after the formation of the modern Republic of India in 1950, though they continue to be recognised by the British government. The Portuguese gave titles and created coats of arms for its Goan citizens from the early 1700s, both Hindu and Indian Christian. These titles however lost their recognition after the Portuguese Revolution and start of the First Portuguese Republic in 1910.
