    The book offers a different perspective on Gandhi. It was insightful. Although, I wish it delved deeper into certain aspects of his South African experience.

    The South African Gandhi is insightful and well-written, though I was expecting more focus on his early activism against racial discrimination.

    Well-researched and argued, although I found some interpretations a bit biased. Still, it’s a worthwhile read for those wanting a different view.

  11. Anirudh Yerra –

    A compelling, if sometimes unsettling, exploration of Gandhi’s formative years. It challenges hagiography. A vital historical work.

    This book has completely changed my understanding of Gandhi. Very well written and researched! I recommend this book. I am speechless.

  15. Vikash Pandey –

    Interesting but dense. The authors make a strong case, but the sheer amount of detail can be overwhelming. Pace is a big challenge here.

  16. Pooja Dipak Ingale –

    A necessary read for anyone interested in Gandhi. It presents a more nuanced, less idealized picture. Be prepared to have your preconceptions challenged.

  17. Ritika Maheshwari –

    I have mixed feelings. The book offers valuable insights but at times seems to lack some important context. Some parts were confusing.

  18. Rupal Singh –

    A thought-provoking but unsettling look at Gandhi’s early years. It challenges the saintly image. I learned a lot, but some parts were hard to stomach.
