I am wondering whether the career of Shapurji Edalji will be of interest to your audience. He did, admittedly, convert to Christianity in his teens, but he was brought up a Parsi and had an extraordinary life overall. My book ‘Outrage: The Edalji Five and the Shadow of Sherlock Holmes’ (Vanguard Press) details his early life for the first time. See http://www.outrage-rogeroldfield.co.uk.
