The post that was quoted here has been removedI can't find the book I have of his games, it's in one of my boxes (I hope) which are on top of each other hampering a systematic search. I think it's:
The Best Games of Mir Sultan Khan: An Indian Mystic Challenges the West (Hardinge Simpole chess classics) R.N. Cole
I had a look at Amazon and the cover picture was ringing bells. Above you said:
When Westerners write biographically about Indians, there's the Orientalist tendency to emphasize the exotic or sensational.That book title does tend to support this.
