Sergeant Major Morris obtained the monkey's paw during his time serving in India. He received it from a fakir, who put a spell on it to grant three wishes to the holder, but warned that the wishes would come with consequences.
Since the Sergeant Major first speaks about being in India, we can assume that when he speaks of the Fakir who put the spell on the paw that the incident occurred while he was in India. By interpolation of what he says, we can infer that one of Morris' colleagues had a dispute about fate with a Fakir who cursed the paw to prove a point. After the initial man had his first two wishes he wished for death as his third wish and it was bequeathed to Morris afterwards.
The author said the monkeys paw came from India. So I think the tale was from India.
In "The Monkey's Paw," the characters are Mr. and Mrs. White, their son Herbert, and Sergeant-Major Morris. Mr. White is curious and somewhat skeptical, Mrs. White is superstitious, Herbert is optimistic, and Sergeant-Major Morris is mysterious and warns them about the monkey's paw.
