	HARVEY: Review - William Dalrymple, From the Holy Mountain: A Journey among the Christians of the Middle East
		William Dalrymple, From the Holy Mountain: A Journey among the Christians of the Middle East (New York: Henry Holt and Co., 1997).
		Dalrymple presents his own journey as a witness to the completion of the fierce tragedy whose beginning is recorded in The Spiritual Meadow: the destruction of Christianity as an indigenous and historical presence in the Middle East, as its small numbers of remaining adherents steadily emigrate to the politically safer territories of the western world.
		Dalrymple himself reflects at the end of his trip on what was most instructive for him.

	BBC - Cambridgeshire Students - Wonderboys/girls - William Dalrymple comes to Cambridge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It is a remarkable tale of secret assignations, court intrigue, harem politics, religious disputes, espionage and ultimately, the tragic relationship between James Achilles Kirkpatrick, the British Resident at the court of the Nizam of Hyderabad and Khair un-Nissa, a descendant of the Prophet.
		Dalrymple also unearths such colourful figures as 'Hindoo Stuart', who travelled with his own team of Brahmins to maintain his templeful of idols and Sir David Ochterlony, Kirkpatrick's counterpart in Delhi, who took all thirteen of his Indian wives out for evening promenades, each on the back of their own elephant.
		WILLIAM DALRYMPLE is the award-winning author of IN XANADU, CITY OF DJINNS, FROM THE HOLY MOUNTAIN and THE AGE OF KALI.

	EducationGuardian.co.uk \| Books \| Review: White Mughals by William Dalrymple
		William Dalrymple's White Mughals argues that the decline of the Mughal empire was mirrored by the Indian conquest of the European imagination.
		Dalrymple details brilliantly the intrigues through which the British extended their influence over the state of Hyderabad, pacified the Marathas in western India, and undermined the power of Tipu Sultan in the south.
		Dalrymple seems inclined to think that the women relatives of Khair un-Nissa cannily arranged her affair and marriage with Kirkpatrick in an attempt to further their family's influence in Hyderabad.

	The Religion Report - 21/04/99: William Dalrymple
		William Dalrymple: And that again is something which seems extraordinary to us, but it is something that's utterly normal and unremarkable to say, a traveller of 100 years ago.
		William Dalrymple: I think it's partly growth of nationalism, growth of education has led people, simple peasants who could happily go to one shrine or the other, have tended to be replaced now as education comes by people who are more aware of what they are and how they're different from their neighbours.
		William Dalrymple: It is, but the actual missionaries themselves because of recent Indian visa laws regarding missionaries, tend to be South Indian Christians who've been trained in the States, so they are native-born Indians who are actually going about the conversions but they're doing it with western money, western backing and with western ideas.

	William Dalrymple (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		William Dalrymple has done what many travel writers have tried to do and failed at: He has written a book that actually enables the reader to envision what it is he's writing, and how the people in these narratives act and live.
		Dalrymple details an Indian state in chaos, where most of the parliament is made up of convicted criminals who murder openly, where sectarian and caste disputes lead to regular massacres and where there's no infrastructure or safety.
		Dalrymple paints a painful picture of this often cruel and violent society, especially for women--how impossible it is to prove a charge of rape, how cruelly the widows of the holy city of Vrindavan are exploited.

		Today, reports Dalrymple, there is a systematic effort on the part of Turkish authorities to eliminate the remains of Armenian life and religion altogether.
		When Dalrymple asked the Patriarch of Jerusalem whether he thought the end of the Christian presence was imminent, he said: "Do not judge a light by the size of its container.
		But Dalrymple writes with feeling, and he makes one take notice, especially in the affluent and indulgent Christian West, of a Christian world where every thought, every word, every action is viewed in light of one thing: survival.

		I met William at the Ha Ha Bar on Trinity Street in Cambridge for coffee, cake and full-fat cola ("for a sugar-kick!") to find out all about his new book, 'White Mughals'.
		I met William Dalrymple with a severe sense of trepidation...this was a heavyweight writer who has extensive knowledge of India, its history, Religious trends throughout history (I guess studying history at Trinity in Cambridge may have helped a wee bit!), travel, language...in fact, you name it, he's probably done it, researched it, or eaten it!
		William Dalrymple is, perhaps, the least scholarly person in the world.

	Review On Age of Kali, The - William Dalrymple by Aaro -- MouthShut.com
		The essay on Vrindavan in UP is particularly horrific – the documentary style reportage of the lives of widows condemned to pray to Krishna and beg on the streets and in temples for the rest of their lives is heart rending.
		Dalrymple has an eye for detail and an extraordinary ability to compress large amounts of history lightly into a few paragraphs.
		Dalrymple throws up a startling thought: Perhaps the events in the northern badlands are the future of India, not Bangalore.

	The Hindu : Unearthing the White Mughals
		William Dalrymple, author of White Mughals (published by Viking, an imprint of Penguin), looks every bit the comfortably assimilated angrez that he focuses on in his book - eighteenth century Brits who came to India to seek their fortune (minus of course the hookah and the nautch girls who feature in portraits of the era!).
		Dalrymple suspected that in the eighteenth Century, the courts of Delhi, Lucknow and Hyderabad, among others, were completely `chutnified' - the Europeans who had come to India during the course of the past century had taken on many of the local customs, had Indian wives or companions, and had gone native.
		That was the history that William Dalrymple was prompted to investigate.

	The Richmond Review, Book Review, The Age of Kali: Indian Travels and Encounters by William Dalrymple
		Dalrymple succeeds in presenting the many disparate parts of Indian society as a whole, from the glitterati of Bombay's movie scene (otherwise known as "Bollywood") to the dispossessed women of Vrindavan who roam the streets begging alms.
		Because he writes from the vantage of one who has had to contend with the problems confronting India in recent years, Dalrymple instinctively comprehends the complex relationship between politics and religion that has left this country divided and at the brink of war.
		William Dalrymple has written a book that is required reading for anyone interested in India's emerging role in world affairs.

		Dalrymple’s imagination is fully at work even as it balances the plethora of facts that he has unearthed and discovered in the treasure troves of British libraries.
		Dalrymple offers a general introduction to the India of the times, and then focusses on Kirkpatrick's story.
		Kirkpatrick's brother, William, was Resident in Hyderabad first, but had to resign and his brother James, rising fairly fast through the ranks, became Acting Resident there in 1797.

	THE AGE OF KALI by William Dalrymple
		As William Dalrymple was told again and again on his travels around the Indian subcontinent, the region is now in the throes of the 'Kali Yug', the Age of Kali, an epoch of darkness and disintegration.
		In Lucknow Dalrymple finds a war being fought between rival wings of the student union, each side being armed with grenades and assault rifles; in neighbouring Bihar he finds the state has totally succumbed to a tidal wave of violence, corruption and endemic caste warfare.
		Courageous, compassionat, erudite and beautifully written, laced with a thread of William Dalrymple’s characteristic fl humour, 'The Age of Kali' is a 'tour de force' of intellectual curiosity, direct observation and unprejudiced enquiry.

	Why William Dalrymple says that the West is losing the War on Terrorism \| Samizdata.net
		Aside from Dalrymples pacifist tendencies, for which I can easily take Susan's word, the underlying question here is one of grand strategy-the overall method and objective which guide a nation or group of nations in pursuing its objectives (by means of war, psychology, diplomacy, sociology, economics or -anything else that works).
		Dalrymple's basic point- that we are losing the 'hearts and minds' of the great moderate mass of the Islamic world- seems to me to be a case of fighting with the last war's methods.
		Dalrymple's time might be better spent explaining to the Arab/muslim world that if they don't straighten up, embrace modernity, and become good global citizens the US government can, and will, institute the same sort of international re-education program it established in the early 40's for the Germans and Japanese.
