  1. Piyush Shrineelvats –

    Interesting concept, but the writing style was a bit academic and hard to follow at times.

  2. Komal Jain –

    While informative, the book felt a bit repetitive in certain sections. Still, worth the effort.

    A well-researched and thought-provoking analysis. It could have benefited from more illustrations.

    Provides a unique perspective on colonial India. I wish it explored more regional variations in theatre.

    An excellent study of Indian theatre’s role in the freedom movement. Deeply insightful.

    Informative, though a lighter tone would have made it more engaging and approachable.

  15. Ramandeep Kaur –

    Gives great historical context. A bit narrow in its focus, but valuable nonetheless.
