  1. Damanpreet Singh –

    Offers unique insight. The sheer volume of information can be a bit daunting.

  2. Harshit Kumar –

    A vital historical record presented in its raw form. It’s scholarly and useful, but not a casual read.

  3. Aditya Gujrawat –

    The detail is astounding, offering a micro-level perspective of the Partition’s impact.

  4. Prithvi Raj Parashar –

    The reports give a sense of urgency but lack empathy at times. An interesting yet flawed account.

  5. Kalloljyoti Ojah –

    A powerful and disturbing record. It reveals the administrative challenges and the human suffering.

  6. Jarpula Ajay Simha –

    Essential for understanding the British perspective, but I wish there were more voices represented. Still, a significant contribution.

  7. Shagun Singh –

    A vital primary source collection. However, the lack of contextualization for non-experts is a drawback.

  8. Yashika –

    The detail is incredible, if a bit overwhelming. You really get a sense of the chaos and confusion on the ground.

  9. Abhishek Kumar –

    An invaluable resource for researchers. Access to these reports in one place is incredibly useful.

  10. Simran Kaur Juneja –

    I appreciate the firsthand accounts. It could have benefitted from more diverse viewpoints to balance the narrative.

  11. Atul Kumar Sah –

    Provides a crucial perspective, even if a limited one. Some repetition across reports.

  12. Kumar Eklavya –

    A valuable resource for historians! The reports offer a granular view of the partition’s immediate aftermath. Sometimes dense, but ultimately rewarding.

  13. Kushal Jaiswal –

    Important, but a tough read emotionally. The reports are very clinical, which can be jarring given the human cost.

  14. Anshul Singh Vimal –

    This book is an important, though difficult, read for anyone trying to understand the Partition.

  15. Yash Subhash Thakur –

    Carter’s work in compiling this is commendable. A must-have for serious scholars of South Asian history.

  16. Priyanka Jain –

    Though dense, the book is insightful. It provides a perspective not often highlighted.

  17. Shivam Vijayakumar Sharma –

    A significant historical document, though the official language can be dry and detached at times.
