  1. Muskan Singh –

    A fascinating look at a complex figure. Elwin’s work with tribal communities is admirable, but his personal life raises questions. Worth reading, but be prepared to wrestle with difficult issues.

  2. Aahana Moral –

    I appreciated the depth of research, but the book felt somewhat biased at times. Still, it provides a valuable insight into Elwin’s perspective and the challenges faced by tribal communities.

  3. Yuvraj Jaiswal –

    While informative, the book sometimes gets bogged down in details. It explores the life of Verrier Elwin and his work with the tribal population of India.

  4. Aditya Singh –

    Elwin’s story is a reminder of the complexities of cultural exchange. A thought-provoking read, but be aware that it deals with sensitive topics. The book can be slow at times.

  5. Pragya –

    Elwin’s passion shines through, but the writing style felt dense at times. The book provides a valuable perspective on tribal India, although I wish it was a bit more concise. An important, if slightly challenging, read.

  6. Sony Benny –

    The book explores Elwin’s life and work in depth and offers a valuable contribution to the understanding of tribal communities.

  7. Sahitya Narvariya –

    A well-researched biography that sheds light on a controversial figure. Some sections were dry, but overall, an informative and thought-provoking exploration of Elwin’s life and work.

    While the subject matter is compelling, the book felt somewhat academic. Still, it offers a valuable contribution to understanding the complexities of colonialism and cultural preservation.
