Dalrymple, William White Mughals: Love and Betrayal in Eighteenth-Century India
Harper Perennial May 2003 0-00-655096-7 / 9780006550969 Paperback Good
Dalrymple, author of the bestselling In Xanadu, now anchors himself in Indi a around the turn of the 19th century to focus on James Kirkpatrick, an off icer for the East India Company and the British Resident, representing the British government, in the Indian city-state of Hyderabad. Kirkpatrick, who converted to Islam and, after a celebrated and notorious romance, married Khair un-Nissa, the teenage great-niece of the region's prime minister, exe mplifies the "White Mughals," British colonialists who "went native." One o f the book's strengths is its stunningly detailed depiction of day-to-day l ife-gardens, food, sexual mores, modes of travel and architecture-and portr aits of British governors-general, Indian politicians, their wives and fami lies, and adventurers. It is also an astute study of the political complica tions Kirkpatrick faced because of his conversion and cross-cultural marria ge, and the difficulties his divided loyalties caused him in his role as ag ent of the increasingly imperialistic British. But most suspenseful is the fate of Kirkpatrick's willful and charismatic wife, just 19 when he died in 1805, and the fate of their children. The twists and turns in the life of their daughter-sent to England when she was five, never to return to India or see her mother again-are fascinating. Dalrymple makes note of the presen t schism, which some believe unbridgeable, between Western and Eastern civi lizations and Kirkpatrick's tale as a counterexample that the two can meet. Illus., maps.
