   The book was good, but i was expecting more discussion on modern india rather than old colonial times.

   Schouten’s book provides a good overview of early European views of Hinduism. However, the writing could be more engaging.

   It’s scholarly work, clearly. But it got dense at points. Still, worth the effort if you’re serious about the topic.
