"The Great Mogul," as he was called by the embassy staff, won no plaudits for such stunts as wading barefoot in a paddyfield or carrying sacks of cement on his head at a dam construction site. Nonetheless, he achieved a remarkable rapport with Nehru, a man who, he says, was "touched with magic."

Henry, played by England's Michael Caine with a surprisingly plausible spoonbread locution, is a draft-dodging mongrel.
