Son of India

1931 NR 1h 13m 6.1

A wealthy Indian jewel merchant and an American woman fall in love, only for her family to stand in their way of getting married.

Karim, a jewel collector, is one of the richest men in Bombay--which belies his humble beginning and poverty as little as a decade ago. His wealth was derived from a diamond he received from his jewel-merchant father, who was killed by marauding bandits for the jewels in his possession. Twice, 10 years ago, Karim was saved from people who would kill, steal, or lie to get the diamond. His two saviors were an Indian holy man and an American tourist. When Karim and American tourist Janice Darsey meet, it is mutual love at first sight. Their interracial romance has many obstacles to happiness, including the disapproval by Janice's aunt, with whom she is traveling through India. As Karim and Janice begin a courtship against all odds, two people from Karim's past may ultimately factor into whether it will be happily ever after for Karim and Janice together.
