The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Apostolic Prefecture of French Colonies in India&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;  (sometimes confusingly called &amp;#039;of Pondicherry&amp;#039;) was an exempt pre-diocesan jurisdiction for Latin Catholic missions in the colonial enclaves constituting [[French India]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1777 it was established as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Apostolic Prefecture]] of the [[French India|French Colonies]] in [[India]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, not entitled to a [[titular bishop]], without a direct predecessor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 1886.09.01 it was suppressed, its territory being reassigned to the previously co-existent Metropolitan [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Pondicherry|Archdiocese of Pondicherry]] (now Metropolitan Archdiocese of Pondicherry and Cuddalore).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ordinaries ==&lt;br /&gt;
(all [[Roman Rite]] and missionary priests from Europe, notably from Latin congregations)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Apostolic Prefects of the French Colonies in India&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &lt;br /&gt;

* Donatus Aurelinensis, O.F.M. Cap. (1780.11.27 – 1786.09.11)&lt;br /&gt;
