Rishi Jain –
A mixed bag. Some essays were fascinating, others less so. Guha’s writing is generally good, but the book lacks a cohesive flow.
Anuksha Roy –
Guha offers compelling insights, but the focus on dissent sometimes felt a bit one-sided. Still informative.
Gaurav . . –
Guha’s insights are sharp, but the book felt a bit academic at times. Still, a worthwhile read for understanding modern Indian politics.
Siddharth Jain –
An engaging collection of essays. Guha’s analysis is always thought-provoking, though I didn’t agree with everything he argued. A must-read.
Jeelkumar Rajeshbhai Kadeval –
I had high expectations, but was disappointed. Guha touches on important issues but doesn’t always delve deep enough. Okay read.
Hitesh Bhatia –
Guha’s book is a valuable addition to the discourse on Indian politics. The essays are well-researched and thought-provoking, making it a compelling read.
Gaurav Chawla –
Interesting perspectives on Indian democracy. Some essays were stronger than others, but overall a valuable contribution. Recommended!

A very important book. Provides a critical and insightful look into democracy in India. Definitely worth your time.
