James Achilles Kirkpatrick landed on the shores of eighteenth-century India as an ambitious soldier of the East India Company. Although eager to make his name in the subjection of a nation, it was he who was conquered not by an army but by a Muslim Indian princess. Kirkpatrick was the British Resident at the court of the Nizam of Hyderabad when in 1798 he glimpsed Khair un-Nissa Most Excellent among Women' the great-niece of the Nizam's Prime Minister. He fell in love with Khair, and overcame many obstacles to marry her not least of which was the fact that she was locked away in purdah and engaged to a local nobleman. Eventually, while remaining Resident, Kirkpatrick converted to Islam, and according to Indian sources even became a double-agent working for the Hyderabadis against the East India Company. Possessing all the sweep of a great nineteenth-century novel, White Mughals is a remarkable tale of harem politics, secret assignations, court intrigue, religious disputes and espionage.

The Age Of Kali : Indian Travels And Encounters

Penguin Books Indian Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi

The fast-paced new novel from the internationally bestselling author of The Best Laid Plans, Morning, Noon &amp; Night and Bloodline. Someone was following her. She had read about stalkers, but they belonged in a different, faraway world. She had no idea who it could be, who would want to harm her. She was trying desperately hard not to panic, but lately her sleep had been filled with nightmares, and she had awakened each morning with a feeling of impending doom. Thus begins Sidney Sheldon s chilling novel, Tell Me Your Dreams. Three beautiful young women are suspected of committing a series of brutal murders. The police make an arrest that leads to one of the most bizarre murder trials of the century. Based on actual events, Sheldon s novel races from London to Rome to Quebec City to San Francisco, with a climax that will leave the reader stunned.

The Last Mughal the fall of Delhi, 1857

Penguin

"The Last Mughal" is the most definitive account of events centered on Bahadut Shah Zafar and the great Indian mutiny in and around Delhi in 1857-58. Based upon an immense amount of empirical research, often unearthing archival material hitherto untouched by historians, Dalrymple achieves and admirable balance between fairness and a moving empathy with the subjects of his book.
