23 reviews for The Honourable Company

  1. Utkarsh Kumar

    A bit overwhelming to read through it all, but a very good resource for historical researchers.

  2. Ishita Singhania

    A detailed account of the East India Company, though sometimes overwhelming with facts. Still, a worthwhile read for history buffs.

  3. Shreshth Dhuria

    Well-written and informative, providing great insights into the East India Company. Some parts are a bit dull.

  4. Akshat Ruhela

    A very good historical account of the company, but a little too academic for casual reading, but very detailed.

  5. Lalit Kumar Chauhan

    It’s worth reading if you need it for research.

  6. Yashwant Suman

    Not a light reading, but the book is definitely an important account.

  7. Vandit Mehta

    It is pretty neutral as a historical accounting.

  8. Sourajit Khan

    Excellent research and writing. However, it could be a little less focused on economic details and more focused on human stories.

  9. Shrey Kumar Singh

    It’s a very important book for understanding the impact of the company.

  10. Yashowindra Singh Jamwal

    I would read it again.

  11. Jigyasa Singh

    It is a very important book for British colonial times.

  12. Awdhesh Gairola

    A comprehensive history, but be prepared for a lot of names and dates. Worth the effort if you’re truly interested.

  13. Vijay M

    An interesting subject, but the book felt a little long and could have benefited from tighter editing.

  14. Aparna Anjali

    It can be slow to start at times.

  15. Shashwat Shivam

    An ambitious book that covers a lot of ground. I found it a bit dense, but the story is compelling.

  16. Jatin Rajpal

    The book provides a good introduction to the topic, however, the narrative is a bit monotonous.

  17. Ruchira Parwanda

    A must-read for anyone interested in British and Indian history. Occasionally slow, but ultimately rewarding.

  18. Vansh Lalwani

    Keay brings the East India Company to life. A bit dry at times, but overall, a fascinating exploration of power and trade.

  19. Gurpreet Singh

    Extremely descriptive, and sometimes that works against it.

  20. Ringdao Nunisa

    This is a must-read for anyone interested in world trade history.

  21. Ishika Gupta

    Keay does a brilliant job of explaining the complexities of the company’s rise and fall. Highly recommended!

  22. Sagar Meena

    It is hard to put down.

  23. Anupama Singh

    Very impressive, I liked this historical account, though at times I wanted to know more about specific persons.
