  1. Shruti Choudhary –

    Interesting perspective, but a bit dense. I appreciated the historical context, but found it hard to follow at times. Still a worthwhile read for serious scholars.

  2. Aman Yadav –

    Interesting topic but very dry execution. I wish there was a bit more storytelling. It felt like reading a textbook at times.

  3. Ashish Ranjan –

    A truly groundbreaking work! Bronkhorst challenges conventional wisdom and provides a fresh perspective. I was completely engrossed.

  4. Khyati Singh –

    A fascinating, if somewhat dry, account of Brahmanism’s spread. Bronkhorst’s research is impeccable. It is a valuable addition to the field.

  5. Chhayank Kumar –

    Bronkhorst has done it again! An insightful and meticulously researched book. It will change the way you think about Brahmanism.

  6. Ifthikaruz Zaman Mazumder –

    The book offers detailed insights but can be overwhelming. It is an academic work, not for the faint of heart. Could be a bit more accessible.

  7. Deepali Chouhan –

    I struggled to get through this. The writing style is very academic and it requires a lot of prior knowledge. Not for casual readers.

    A remarkable achievement. Bronkhorst’s work is both comprehensive and nuanced. An essential contribution to the field.

  11. Shambhavi –

    The book delivers unique insights, but it is best suited for readers familiar with the topic. It has an in-depth analysis.

  12. Sparsh Singhal –

    A well-researched and thought-provoking book. Bronkhorst presents a compelling argument, though some may find it controversial. Worth the effort.

  13. Kamlesh –

    An absolute gem! A brilliant exploration of a complex subject. I could not put it down. Bronkhorst is a master storyteller.

  14. Prasad Balasaheb Ekhande –

    While informative, it’s a slow read. The prose is dense and requires close attention. Only recommended for dedicated researchers.

  15. Sundram –

    A bit too specialized for my taste. While informative, the book lacked a certain narrative flow. I found it hard to remain engaged.

  16. Madhurima Purkait –

    Superb! A must-read for students of South Asian history and religion. Bronkhorst’s insights are invaluable. The details are interesting.
