  1. Swagatika Panda –

    Excellent scholarship! I learned so much. A little dry but worth the effort.

  2. Pooja –

    Enjoyed the sections on the epics. The Brahmanas and Sutras were less interesting to me.

  3. Ridhi Shree –

    This book felt like a real history lesson. Little too much information for a casual reader.

  4. Anchal Jaiswal –

    A decent overview, but felt a bit dry at times. Could’ve used more engaging examples.

  5. Gauraang Gupta –

    Provided a broad survey of the subject; however, it occasionally lacked depth.

  6. Vishakha –

    MacDonell’s book gave good insights into the fairy tales and fables, as well as the comparison with western lit.

  7. Janani Sree –

    Good information. However, the author has a particular bent to his writing.

    Very insightful, even if you are new to the world of Sanskrit Literature. It can be quite a heavy read though.

    I wish this book provided more modern interpretations of the ancient Sanskrit texts.

    A bit dense, but offers a comprehensive look at Sanskrit literature. A great resource for students.

    A true classic. Any serious student of Sanskrit needs to have this on their shelf.

  14. Muddassir Hussain –

    MacDonell’s work is a classic! A must-read for anyone interested in Sanskrit. Some chapters were a bit too dense.

  15. Deba Kumar Narzary –

    A comprehensive resource, though the writing style is dated. Still, very informative.

    An academic and detailed book. If you are serious about learning Sanskrit literature, its a must read.

  17. Sonika Vashisht –

    Its comprehensive, but quite boring. I wish it delved deeper into fewer topics.
