He was one of the greatest chess players from Asia but unfortunately was a victim of one of the cast (spelling) separations in India. His master took him to live in England in the 1930s and he astounded everyone and proved to be a great chess player. Had he stayed in England he might have challenged for the chess championship but his master was selfish and ruined it for him and the chess world. His master took him back to India and he was never heard from again.
One time some famous chess players and journalist went to visit him for an interview but it was his master that ruled the conversation and made Sultan serve them as a servant (probably more like as slave) and the visit was very unsatisfactory.
I think about this every time someone from India calls me (due to our outsourcing probably more by yankee business who had tarriffs before and after the civil war to stop this sort of thing) the phone accidently gets disconnected.
