Description
White Mughals: Love and Betrayal in Eighteenth-century India
A remarkable tale of love and deception set against the backdrop of colonial India. In the early eighteenth century, a British Resident at the court of Hyderabad fell deeply in love with a woman from the royal family, and the two defied convention to marry. Their story is one of seduction and betrayal, set against the complex web of cultural and religious boundaries that defined their time.
This book uncovers a previously unexplored chapter in Indian history, revealing a world of colourful characters who lived and worked alongside the British colonizers. From the temples and rituals of the Brahmins to the lavish lifestyles of the East India Company's officials, Dalrymple sheds new light on a fascinating period in Indian history.
