    Yes, but indirectly.

    Your parents are Portuguese citizens because they were born in the former Portuguese State of India.

    The first step would be to register the births of your parents in Portugal and after that you are going to become eligible to apply for the Portuguese citizenship.

    However, there are some issues with the preparation of the documents that must be very well explained in order to have a successful application, because the documents demanded by the Portuguese government are very old and they are all expired.

    There are also other issues that would influence your application and I would only be able to provide you accurate information after I could make you some questions.
