Rejected by the BBFC in 1933 when submitted by Radio as India Speaks, then released in 1949 as Bride of the East, under licence from individual counties throughout the UK. The MFB describes "scenes of sexual orgies, fights to the death by animals, and flagellation sequences", and dismisses the whole thing as "low pornography"! Aside from the animal stuff, sounds like my kinda picture!!...
