    Been cool if your grandfather had owned a 1934 Rolls Royce called the "Star of India". Awesome car! I know that isn't it, just having fun researching Star of India. :)

    I believe your grandfather lived in India while it was part of the British Empire (1900-1947). I need some more research time; seems I'll have it, since you will not be back until Thursday.
    You could be on the right track. Curious to see the answer.
