William Dalrymple In a characteristically thoughtful and elegant essay immediately preceding my contribution to this symposium, Pankaj Mishra objects to the scope of some central ideas in my book White Mughals.1 He appears to be under the impression that British imperial administrators who intermarried or cohabited with Indian women and assimilated to the norms of Mughal societyâï¬gures like James Achilles Kirkpatrick and Sir David Ochterlonyâwere âisolatedâ eccentrics: âa few individual cases.â âThere is no fresh evidence,â Mishra writes, âthat there were more than a handful of these men in India.â It is an odd claim to make since the very detailed statistical evidence showing that this is emphatically not the case is laid out very clearly and at some length in the ï¬rst chapter of my book. Mishra seems to think that eighteenth-century India was full of aloof Curzon-like British men, of the sort found in late-nineteenth- and early-twentiethcentury India, and he reï¬ects this stereotype back onto the very different world 1.
