  1. Dhruv Singh –

    I was expecting more depth and analysis. It relies too heavily on anecdotes and not enough on broader context. Disappointed.

  2. Naman Gulati –

    An incredible collection of stories! Nayar’s voice is strong and brings history to life. Some bias apparent but a valuable read.

  3. Rohit S –

    Some chapters were riveting, others less so. The book provides a unique perspective, even if you don’t agree with all of Nayar’s interpretations.

  4. Shamir A –

    Nayar’s access to key figures is remarkable. However, the book could have benefited from a more critical perspective on certain events. Still, informative.

  5. Ankita Shaw –

    I enjoyed the personal anecdotes, but the writing style felt a bit dated. A valuable resource, but not always the most engaging read.

  6. Nelli Sam Prakash –

    A fascinating glimpse into history through Nayar’s eyes. Some stories were truly captivating, while others felt a bit dry. Overall, a worthwhile read for history buffs.

  7. Gaurav Assnani –

    Interesting stories, but the book jumps around a bit, making it hard to follow at times. Still worth reading for the historical insights.

  8. Aadhar Kumar Mishra –

    Nayar’s first-hand accounts make history come alive. While some parts are slow, the book is filled with gems. Highly recommended.

  9. Divya Manwani –

    A must-read for anyone interested in Indian political history! Nayar’s insights are invaluable. Though occasionally biased, it’s a superb work.

  10. Yash Subhash Thakur –

    A good overview, but sometimes lacks depth. It offers a starting point for understanding the period. Some content repetitive.

  11. Saheli Thakur –

    This book gave me a new understanding of the Partition. Nayar’s storytelling is clear and engaging, making a complex topic accessible.
