'white mughals'
love and betrayal in eighteenth century india
william dalrymple writes beautifully and i intend to catch up with his back catalogue, including his 'from the holy mountain', a study of the demise of christianity in its middle eastern homeland
white mughals tells the story of james achilles kirkpatrick the british resident at hyderabad and his relationship with a mughal princess, khair un-nissa
i finished this at mum's and tried to tell her the story and showed her the copy of 'cities of mughal india' i'd found that had once been sold as a secondhand book for 60 rupees
