Not at all. This is a common honorific form of address between governments in international affairs.

Such as? Have you never read history in your life? Taj mahal, many monuments of Turks in India, there are even some Indians with Turkish ethnicity in India(infact an Indian guy who was from hyderabad told me this and he said he was too). For the last century our ancestors was in South East Asia. Unfortunately the Indians think bad about them yet they love the British who killed more than 5 million Indians.

Indeed, upon the Portuguese settlement in India, fleets were sent out under the command of Ottoman captains ,such as Piri Reis and Seydi Ali Reis in an effort to put an end to the Portuguese presence in India.

Already in 1720 the Marathas (Mahrattas) had conquered Kalyat, one of the ports of Vasai (Bassein, Baçaim). In 1732 the Portuguese began construction of another fort on Vasai, Thana; the Portuguese failed to regularly pay their workers. The latter in 1736 offered to hand over the fortress to the Marathas.

In 1737, the Marathas, commanded by Chimaji Appa, took possession of Thana, with the island of Salsette (Salcete); the act caused the Portuguese-Maratha War to break out. Chimaji Appa died the same year. The Portuguese possessions around Vasai, and the center of the Portuguese colonial Empire in India, Goa, came under attack. The remaining Portuguese forts in Vasai fell in 1738 and 1739 respectively; Vasai surrendered May 16th 1739. Goa held out. In 1741 reinforcements arrived, and the Portuguese, commanded by the Marquis of Lourical, defeated the allied Maratha and Bhonsle forces at Bardez; the Portuguese territory around Goa was extended (Novas Conquistas); Vasai remained in the hands of the Marathas.

Peace with the Marathas was concluded only in 1759.

Mahadaji Shinde restored the Maratha domination on northern India, within a decade after the war and reinstalled the Mughals on Delhi

The deposition of Bahadur Shah II in 1857 proved to be a turning point in India’s relations with the Ottoman Khilafat
. Hence forth Indian Muslims looked towards the Ottoman Sultan. The Deoband School founded in 1857 also promoted pro-Ottoman sentiment among the Muslims of India.
