Author William Dalrymple tells the story of an English diplomat who fell in love with a daughter of a Muslim Mughal ruler. Without prejudice on either side, his marriage was blessed by both Muslim and Christian communities. But tragically, as fear and the arrogance of the British Raj amplified, the convivial relationship between the communities broke down, and the couple became a prime target.
