Over time Greyhawk Grognard has published a series of posts about the lands of Zihindia, an Indian based campaign area in the World of Greyhawk
As far as I know this, and Arrows of Indra are the only attempts to create a fantasy India setting. I've seen attempts at the Far East and Arabia but not many regarding India. This is a shame because in many ways India is a better model for the typical Fantasy World (I'm talking Victoria-era India mostly because I know more about that time frame). The place is filled with ruined forts and temples and shrines. They had multiple religions (Muslims, Hindus, Christians, and Sikhs) living in the same region and getting along most of the time, more or less. You had bandits, hill raiders! and lots of factions and politics. And you had them all hiring as soldiers to each other (the British and the Sikh Khalsa hired soldiers from all religions and cultures). The place is ripe and I applaud Greyhawk Grognard for doing the work.
