My hunch is that the above poster is slightly imprecise in the spelling but in India it's the Portuguese all the way.

  Nope, just different origin centuries. He’s is right about current day portugal and spain, but these names have not been inherited from today’s portuguese. Language and names evolve. And it’s been more than 5 centuries since portugal reached india

    In my experience with Indians with Portuguese origin surnames have generally matched modern orthography. A search on forebears.io seems to support my experience: Rodriguez 1 in 2.6 million Rodrigues 1 in 27 thousand

      Rodrigues is modern Portuguese orthography.

        Yes, it is.
