  1. Lakshmi Anusha Wudali –

    The author clearly did their research! It could be more accessible to casual readers. I struggled with some of the details.

  2. Utkarsh Yadav –

    I learned so much. It felt a bit lengthy. I feel the core message of the book gets diluted. Still worth it

  3. Amaan Abbas –

    Amazing read! So happy to learn more about the Mughal empire, the author has done a great job. Highly recommended!

  4. Datti Jhansi –

    This book opened my eyes to a new side of the Mughal era. While it’s academically rigorous, it’s also surprisingly engaging.

  5. Sanket Vilas Bansod –

    An interesting perspective on Mughal history, focusing on a man who could have changed it all. Slightly dry at times.

  6. Karan Gupta –

    I enjoyed the book a lot, I had never heard of him, It was well written but too detailed to get through smoothly.

  7. Rishu –

    Well-written and informative, but assumes some prior knowledge of Mughal history. Not a light read, but rewarding.

  8. Prashant Sagar –

    A compelling biography of a man who could have changed India’s course. Some sections felt repetitive. I was hoping for more analysis.

  9. Deependra Kumar –

    A fascinating look at a forgotten Mughal prince. Could have been shorter, but still a good read. I learned a lot!

  10. Rahul Rajak –

    While interesting, the narrative sometimes gets lost in historical tangents. Overall, a worthwhile, insightful reading.

  11. Ajeet Kumar –

    A good read about the history of the Mughal empire and Dara Shikoh. Too many details and too academic for my taste.

  12. Ritesh Raj –

    I found this book really interesting, providing a different perspective on Mughal history. It was a bit dense in parts, though.

  13. Gaurav Ahuja Ahuja –

    The book is detailed and comprehensive. It gives a very thorough and somewhat sympathetic account of Dara’s life and beliefs.

  14. Vibha Ojha –

    This was informative but lacked a narrative flow to keep me fully engaged. Good historical content, dry execution.

  15. Jyotika Tuteja –

    Dara Shukoh’s story is a great tragedy. Book is okay but a bit too focused on names and dates. Needed more character.

  16. Palak Gupta –

    This book is really interesting and provides insights into Mughal empire. This book is definitely worth reading.

  17. Vennila B –

    I really enjoyed learning about Dara Shukoh and his contributions. Some part of the book seemed a bit all over the place.

  18. Utkarsh Pandey –

    A deep dive into Dara Shukoh’s life and times. It felt a little too academic and not as engaging as I hoped.

  19. Soumyadeep Banik Chowdhury –

    A very interesting exploration of a lesser-known Mughal figure. The writing style could be a bit more engaging.

  20. Atul Budhwar –

    Dara Shukoh’s story is tragic. The book is well-researched, but sometimes gets bogged down in detail. Overall, a worthwhile read.
