The term 'Indian Wonder-Worker' refers to a FAKIR, which is an Indian holy man or ascetic who practices extreme forms of self-denial and austerity. Fakirs are known for their spiritual powers and abilities to perform miracles. They are also known for their ability to perform feats of endurance, such as lying on beds of nails or walking on hot coals. Fakirs are often associated with Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam.
