Thanks ! Yeah its a challenge playing an Indian civ in SOI mainly because of the late game economic constraints. Indian civs have to convert to islam to maintain a large empire and keep pace with the muslim rivals, but I have played a few games where I have been able to build large empires without the need of converting. In my opinion the Solankis are the best indegenous Indian civ to play on SOI.
As for the compliment on my writing, thanks again

. The novelization is even more detailed
