I'm not sure if cochin was the first european settlement in india. I think if I remember correctly, it was goa that was the first settlement. I do some research on that. Goa was a portugese colony and the only one in india. While the british settled over the rest on india, the only exception was pondicherry which was a french colony.
Incidentally, goa was the home of around 20000 jews (of the lost tribe ?) most of whom have migrated to israel.
