  1. Saikat Das –

    Important perspective, but difficult to get through. The suffering described is immense, and while necessary to understand, it makes for grim reading. It felt repetitive.

  2. Subham Singh –

    A well-researched and deeply disturbing account. ‘Locking Down the Poor’ is a call to action, urging us to address the systemic issues that led to such suffering. Excellent book!

  3. Manikesh Kumar –

    A tough but necessary read. Mander’s account is heartbreaking, yet it highlights systemic issues we can’t ignore. The book could have offered more solutions though.

  4. Sana Rehman –

    An unsettling look at the lockdown’s effects. Mander doesn’t hold back, and while it’s uncomfortable, it’s a necessary confrontation with reality. I wish it was shorter.

  5. Bhavya Agrawal –

    Mander’s work is a crucial contribution to understanding the pandemic’s impact. It’s very well written and gives voice to the voiceless. Everyone should read it.

  6. Himanshu Gupta –

    A powerful indictment of India’s response to the pandemic. ‘Locking Down the Poor’ is both disturbing and essential for understanding the human cost.

  7. Aarsh Koul –

    While the topic is crucial, the book felt a bit one-sided. Mander’s passion is evident, but a more balanced perspective would have been appreciated. I liked it overall.

  8. Aman Kumawat –

    Harsh Mander’s book is a vital document of a dark period. It shows the indifference faced by the poor during lockdown. A must-read for anyone interested in social justice.

  9. Akanksha Sinha –

    While I appreciate the intent, I found the book repetitive and somewhat preachy. The message is important, but the delivery could have been better. I am on the fence.

  10. Akash Deep –

    This book opened my eyes to the suffering I was unaware of. Mander’s writing is empathetic and compelling, though it can be emotionally draining.

  11. Shashaank Malik –

    An eye-opening account of the lockdown’s impact on India’s poor. Mander’s writing is powerful and moving, though sometimes overwhelming. It a bit preachy.

  12. Anant Kumar Singh –

    An informative and sobering account. ‘Locking Down the Poor’ is a reminder of the inequalities that exist and the work that needs to be done. Very insightful.
