  1. Ansh Kapoor –

    Excellent analysis of the power dynamics between English and vernacular languages. A must-read for anyone interested in Indian history and education.

  2. Samyak Daheshwar Gajbhiye –

    It’s a great book if you are really interested about the education system during the British Raj, otherwise, you can skip it.

  3. Vijay Kumar –

    I learned so much about the history of English education in India. Highly recommend!

  4. Parvez Khalek –

    The book offers a nuanced understanding of Indian nationalism. Some parts were repetitive though.

  5. Satish Kannojia –

    I particularly appreciated the author’s attempt to question what we think of Nationalism.

  6. Tejas Ranjit Wankhade –

    While intellectually stimulating, it can get bogged down in jargon. A great read if you’re ready to invest time.

  7. Modit Johar –

    A thought-provoking read that challenges conventional views on English education in India. However, at times it felt a bit too academic and dense.

  8. Navishek Bhatt –

    It’s a good book. However, the book focuses more on colonialism. I expected to read more about Indian Nationalism.

  9. Yashika Methi –

    An important contribution to the field. I recommend it to people who want to learn in detail.

  10. Arya Samridhi –

    A bit dry, but the arguments are well-researched and compelling. I appreciate the critical lens it provides.

    Well written and researched. Offered a new perspective on something I thought I understood.

  12. Gargi Chaurasia –

    This book opened my eyes to the complexities of language and privilege in India.

  13. Parishee Wadhwani –

    I found the discussion on caste and class particularly insightful. However, the writing style could be more engaging.

  14. Tanishka –

    Interesting perspective on the vernacular, but I wish the author had explored more contemporary examples.

  15. Aritra Datta –

    An essential read to understand the education system in India. It also covers how the British Raj impacted the system.
