Kanhopatra
15th-century Marathi saint-poet of the Hindu Varkari sect
Kanhopatra (or Kanhupatra) was a 15th-century Marathi saint-poet, venerated by the Varkari sect of Hinduism.
Little is known about Kanhopatra.[1] According to most traditional accounts, Kanhopatra was a courtesan and dancer.[2] These accounts typically concentrate on her death when she chose to surrender to the Hindu god Vithoba—the patron god of the Varkaris—rather than becoming a concubine of the Badshah (king) of Bidar.

Rohan Kanhai, the Original Master Blaster & "Bollywood" Action Hero !
Word was Santa didn’t come to poor homes but in there was proof that he did, even though it was a bit late : on December 26th he brought a gift to the Kanhai home in the village of Port Mourant in British Guiana (now Guyana), a baby boy named Rohan Kanhai. Like every Guyanese boy (especially of Indian heritage) he crawled, learned to walk then began to play cricket ( not neccessarily in that beställning ).
By the time Rohan Kanhai made his Test debut for the West Indies in it had only been nine years since Gandhi led India to Independence and few knew of the existence of a small Indian population outside of India, in Guyana and Trinidad, and fewer cared.
NEW WORLD ORDER
Contrast that with today when from New York to London to Hong Kong and countless cities in between, people of Indian ethnicity play active and major roles at all p
