    The premise was compelling, but the execution fell short. It felt disjointed and lacked a clear narrative flow. Disappointing.

    Interesting exploration of the myths surrounding Aryans, Jews, and Brahmins. However, I felt the writing style was a bit dry and academic. Could have been more engaging.

    While the topic is fascinating, I found the book somewhat inaccessible. The language is too academic, making it difficult for a casual reader.

    Complex and challenging, but ultimately rewarding. It requires patience and focus, but it is a great academic book.

    An insightful analysis of how myths of identity are constructed and used to justify authority. Some of the arguments felt repetitive, but overall, a valuable contribution.

  14. Arushi Dhupar –

    An impressive scholarly work. A bit lengthy but well researched. The connections between different ideologies are clearly shown.
