12 reviews for The Loss of Hindustan : The Invention of India

  1. Reetish Mohan Panigrahy –

    The Loss of Hindustan is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Indian subcontinent. It is well-written and researched

  2. Junnyali Panthri –

    Excellent book! It’s a detailed and nuanced exploration of the name change, though could be more accessible to general audiences.

  3. Paras Patil –

    Important but dense. I struggled with some sections, but the overall message about the construction of ‘India’ is vital.

  4. Shreshth Dhuria –

    A complex but ultimately rewarding read. Asif’s deconstruction of the idea of ‘India’ is insightful. The book can be a bit verbose.

  5. Nishi Maurya –

    I enjoyed the book and the author has provided a lot of details. I find the book too political and with a bit of bias.

  6. Sahitya Narvariya –

    A bit too academic for my taste, but the core argument is compelling. It sheds light on the evolution of ‘India’ from ‘Hindustan’.

  7. Shashank Mishra –

    Fascinating! Asif’s research is impeccable. The book made me rethink everything I thought I knew about the history of India. Highly recommended.

  8. Hari Om –

    This book completely shifted my understanding of Indian history! Asif’s arguments are well-supported. A must-read for history enthusiasts.

  9. Gautamdev Chakravarty –

    A ground breaking book, that questions the established. A lot of research must have gone into writing this book. A must read.

  10. Tannu Rani –

    A thought-provoking read, though sometimes dense. Asif challenges accepted narratives about India’s formation. Worth the effort, but be prepared for a deep dive.

  11. Deepti –

    I appreciated the fresh take on history, but found the book a bit repetitive. The argument could have been made more concisely.

  12. Venkateshapperumal R –

    An interesting perspective, but I felt the writing style was a bit dry at times. The book offers a unique angle on South Asian history.
