  1. Sagar Gupta

    It’s an okay book. I found some parts interesting, but other sections were boring. Overall, it was alright.

  2. Aayush Gupta

    This book is a must-read for anyone interested in politics. Rousseau’s writing is impactful, though a bit verbose at times.

  3. Arshnoor Singh Rangoola

    A challenging read, but ultimately rewarding. Rousseau really makes you think about society and your place in it. Some parts were hard to grasp.

  4. Abhay Kumar Verma

    Rousseau’s concepts are revolutionary, and it is interesting to read it in modern context. However, the writing style is too complex.

  5. Praujjal Das

    A bit dry, but undeniably important. I struggled to stay focused at times, but the core ideas are impactful and relevant.

  6. Kislay Kumar

    Rousseau’s ideas are definitely thought-provoking, but at times I found the arguments a bit dense. Still, a classic worth exploring.

  7. Gowtham Nallampalli

    Not an easy read, but incredibly influential. Definitely requires multiple readings to fully absorb the concepts. Good for study groups.

  8. Yash Sharma

    This book changed my perspective on society. Some passages felt outdated, but still relevant. Highly recommended.

  9. Ajay Singh

    A fascinating exploration of freedom and government. Rousseau’s writing can be a bit convoluted, but the ideas are powerful.

  10. Srishti

    The Social Contract is a foundational text! Some of the language is a little difficult, but it’s worth pushing through.

  11. Debjyoti Paul

    Important historical context, but I disagree with some of Rousseau’s core tenets. A good starting point for political philosophy.
