8 reviews for Snakes and Ladders : Glimpses of Modern India

  1. Vishal Baisoya

    An okay read. It offered some interesting insights into India but wasn’t as captivating as I’d hoped. I think other books are better.

  2. Karan Khurana

    I appreciated Mehta’s honesty, but I think it could be better. Some aspects were overly romanticized, others felt unfairly critical. A mixed bag overall.

  3. Vishal Teotia

    An interesting exploration of India, but a bit dense at times. I found myself having to reread some passages. The author’s viewpoint is definitely colored.

  4. Siva Prasad M

    A wonderful and insightful book! It opened my eyes to the complexities of Indian culture and society. I am planning to read it again soon.

  5. Prateek Jayant

    A must-read for anyone wanting to understand modern India! Mehta’s writing is captivating and thought-provoking. I am still reflecting on the complex narratives

  6. Sudhanshu Yadav

    Mehta’s perspective is unique and engaging. Some sections were stronger than others, but I learned a lot about modern India. Highly recommend!

  7. Supreet Suman

    Snakes and Ladders offers insightful glimpses, but feels somewhat dated now. Still, it’s a worthwhile read for those interested in Indian culture.

  8. Tejal

    A fascinating, if sometimes overwhelming, look at India. Mehta’s writing is beautiful, but I occasionally felt lost in the details. Overall, a worthwhile read.
