    The book provided a unique perspective on Sikh culture through its art. Some parts were a bit repetitive.

  5. Mrinal Bagai –

    I enjoyed learning about the social context surrounding the creation of these portraits. Very informative and thought-provoking.

  6. Davinder Singh Bedi –

    A well-researched book, but the writing style is quite academic and dry. Could have been more engaging.

  7. Yogesh Bhadauria –

    Interesting premise, but I found the book rather slow-paced and difficult to get through. The images are the best part.

  8. Sadeem Shahid Khan –

    This book opened my eyes to a whole new world of art. I was captivated from beginning to end. A truly enlightening read.

  9. Aryan Arora –

    A scholarly work that sheds light on Sikh identity. Some of the arguments felt a bit forced at times, though.

  10. Divyanshu Jha –

    The reproductions are excellent. A good overview, though specialists might find it lacks depth in certain areas.

  11. Sarthak Dipak Bhadange –

    This is a solid resource on Sikh art, offering a comprehensive review of the portraits. The quality of the images is good.

  12. Srinivasa Rao Vasantula –

    A fascinating look at Sikh art history! The images are stunning, but the text could be a bit dense for casual readers.

  13. Sriyanksha –

    An impressive collection of Sikh art. I particularly appreciated the discussion of British colonialism’s influence.

  14. Tanishq Goyal –

    Good coverage of the topic, but the layout and design could be improved. It felt a bit cluttered and disorganized.

  15. Apoorv Parashar –

    Ikeda’s analysis is insightful, though I wish there was more discussion of the artistic techniques used. Overall, a valuable resource.
