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    A significant historical document, though the official language can be dry and detached at times.
