The book is very informative, but it could be better organized. I found myself re-reading sections to fully grasp the arguments.

I learned a lot about the Marxist perspective on Indian history. I found the book very useful and it helped me with my research.

While I appreciate the effort, the language is too academic. It limits the book’s appeal. Some of the ideas were also underdeveloped.

A crucial contribution to the debate on nationalism in India. The historical context is well-researched and presented. Overall, a great read.
Arosh Kumar –
A thought-provoking but dense read. The Marxist lens offers a unique perspective, but it can be a bit heavy. Some arguments were compelling, others less so.

A mixed bag. Some chapters were brilliant, others felt repetitive. The book needs editing to be concise.
Devender Pratap Mall –
An interesting analysis of Indian nationalism. It made me rethink some assumptions. However, I wish it were more accessible to non-Marxist readers.
Himanshu –
Good but not great. It offers a different point of view but it gets caught up on jargon and loses track of the initial goal.
