Dean Mahomed (1759–1851) was a British Indian traveller, soldier, surgeon, entrepreneur, and one of the most notable early non-European immigrants to the Western World.[1] Due to non-standard transliteration, his name is spelled in various ways. His high social status meant that he later adopted the honorific "Sake" meaning "venerable one".[2] Mahomed introduced Indian cuisine and shampoo baths to Europe, where he offered therapeutic massage.[lower-alpha 1] He was also the first Indian to publish a book in English.[3][4]
