Bain (1863-1940) was a professor of History in the Deccan College of Pune, in British India, until his retirement in 1919. He published fantasy stories, which he announced as translations of Sanskrit manuscripts given to him by a brahmin. Although they appear too 'British' compared to 'real' Hindu-fancies.
