By pure chance found a book in local library called Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire. by historian Alex Von Tunzelmann (never heard of her before). And the book's pretty good.
In the book, during 1857 war, Alex refers to one police constable fleeing Delhi toward Kashmir. His escape's aided by the fact that his daughter who was along with him had pretty fair skin and blue eyes - Kashmiri who could have easily been mistaken for a British memsahib.

Name of the police constable: Gangadhar Nehru.
Name of his daughter: Indrani (who in another couple years gives birth to Motilal Nehru)

BTW, the begining of the book pretty much sets the tone:
QUOTE<b>In the beginning, there were two nations. One was a vast, mighty and magnificent empire, brilliantly organized and culturally unified, which dominated a massive swath of the earth. The other was an undeveloped, semifeudal realm, riven by religious factionalism and barely able to feed its illiterate, diseased and stinking masses. The first nation was India. The second was England. The year was 1577. . . .</b>
