Begins with a description of the East India Company and its origins in the growth of the British Empire. We see a map that shows the trade between India and Britain. We then hear an account from 1822, from the point of view of Sake Deen Mahomed, the pioneering Indian owner of the Oriental Baths in Brighton and the 'Shampooing Surgeon' to two kings.
