White Mughals is a 2002 history book by William Dalrymple. The love affair between the East India Company resident of Hyderabad, Captain James Achilles Kirkpatrick, and Khair-un-Nissa, a Hyderabadi noblewoman, is central to the theme of the book. One of their children was Noor un-Nissa, Sahib Begum, later christened Kitty Kirkpatrick.
The book also deals with the interracial liaisons between English officers, such as Major-General Charles Stuart, and Indian women, and the geo-political situation of late 18th century India.
