    I loved learning about the tribes, but the writing style was a bit dated. Overall, a worthwhile read.

  2. Ankit Deore

    Fascinating glimpse into a lesser-known part of India. The tribal customs were particularly interesting. Could have used more maps though!

    A gem that offers detailed insights, a valuable addition to any history lover’s collection.

    Not a bad book but not great either, I would recommend it for a specific audience.

    Uneven. Some chapters are captivating, while others drag. Still, a valuable historical document.
