mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

ImNotJohn

[Projoy] Last Maharajah? - NO
Lion of the Punjab? - NO
You're right, it's quite plausible that the person in question had some English given where and when he lived, but I don't know that and it wouldn't be helpful to know in any way I can think of.
P.S. Don't forget the Abstract - there's more to it than just a nickname.

Projoy

Is this person popularly supposed to be divine in some way?

And I'm not talking about a fabulous hairdo.

ImNotJohn

[Projoy] Divinity? - NO but *some applause*

Software

Imran Khan?

Projoy

Is The Answer the title of a person or an office they would hold?

Hm. I must admit I'm even drawing a blank with Wikipedia on this one.

CdM

Does the abstract element link to some present-day phrase or saying?

ImNotJohn

[Software] Imran Khan - NO
[Projoy] Titular? - YES *another small ripple of applause*
[CdM] Phrase or saying? - NO
I think you're only a couple of questions away - in fact, if you came up with the answer I think you would have a pretty good idea that it was correct. The religious element was important, but I had no idea it existed when I chose the subject and I expect it's not really going to help much except as confirmation. The abstract link is probably the key.
