  1. Ajey Dixit

    The book gives great insight into ancient Indian religions. It could have been organized better to avoid some confusion, though.

  2. Satyam Shukla

    It explores the topic well but can be a bit heavy for casual reading. It’s clearly well-researched, though.

  3. Venkateshapperumal R

    Prasad’s book provides a valuable ‘from below’ perspective on ancient Indian religions. Some parts were a bit tedious.

  4. Om Ashokkumar Sahitya

    A deep dive into social history through the lens of religion. The author really knows their stuff! Could be more accessible.

  5. Shubham Raj

    A fascinating look at religion from a different angle. I enjoyed the focus on the common people, but sometimes it felt a bit dry.

  6. Kanishk Kumar

    The ‘from below’ approach is very interesting! It sheds light on lesser-known aspects of religious life. A bit slow at times, but informative.

  7. Arosh Kumar

    I learned a lot about the religious practices of everyday people in ancient India. It’s a unique perspective on the period. Recommended!

  8. Nishant Batan

    Unique insights! The writing style is academic, but the information is valuable if you are interested in the topic.

  9. Rahul Meena

    I liked the focus on non-elite religious practices. This book provides a needed alternative viewpoint. Recommended for history buffs!

  10. Sarvesh Maruti Darade

    This book was an interesting exploration of religion. It could have benefited from more engaging writing, though.

  11. Garvit Sangal

    Prasad offers a fresh perspective. Some parts were dense, but overall, it was insightful and thought-provoking. Worth the read if you’re into social history.
