White Mughals by William Dalrymple

White Mughals by William Dalrymple

Dalrymple recounts the true story of James Kirkpatrick, a British East India Company Resident in Hyderabad who fell genuinely in love with an Indian noblewoman, converted to Islam and adopted local dress and customs, at a moment when British colonial attitudes toward India were hardening rapidly.

Drawing on newly discovered archives, Dalrymple recovers a largely forgotten period when cultural exchange between British and Indian elites was far more fluid than later colonial rigidity allowed, using Kirkpatrick's remarkable personal story to illuminate a broader lost history of genuine cross-cultural intimacy.

An award-winning work of history, recovering a forgotten era of cultural exchange in colonial India.
