11 reviews for Scoop: Inside Stories from the Partition to the Present

  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.
