  1. Ankur Goel

    I enjoyed learning about the history, but the author assumes a lot of prior knowledge. Newcomers might struggle.

  2. Kshitij Verma

    The book is informative, though a bit dense at times. Could have used more illustrations or musical examples.

  3. Nikhilesh

    Incredible depth and detail! A truly comprehensive work on the subject. A real game changer!

  4. Karan Pradeep Kunnumal

    I was transported to another time! A truly enriching experience. Could not put the book down!

  5. Drishti Singh

    The book provided a solid introduction to Hindustani Music. It’s good starting point for beginners.

  6. Sauradeep Mitra

    Absolutely loved it! The stories are so vivid and the passion for music shines through.!

  7. Dhruv Singh

    Interesting subject matter, but a little disorganized. I had to reread some parts to fully grasp.

  8. Digvijay Singh Panwar

    An okay read, but a bit too academic for my taste. I was looking for something more engaging and accessible.

  9. Aastha

    Disappointed. I expected more on the musical techniques, instead it was mostly about the personalities.

  10. Vibhu Vibhor Tiwari

    An interesting exploration of Hindustani music’s past. It felt long-winded at points, but overall worth reading.

  11. Aditi Mishra

    A decent read. It has some interesting information, but it wasn’t as captivating as I had hoped.

  12. Matsa Sai Sureshkumar

    A fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of Hindustani music. Mukherji’s writing is engaging, but sometimes feels a bit too romanticized.

  13. Gaurav Lakheshwar Moon

    The author clearly knows his subject, but the writing style can be a bit dry. Still, a valuable resource.

  14. Ritik Kumar

    Exceptional book! It really opens your eyes to the rich history of Hindustani music. Highly recommend!

  15. Valley Issar

    A worthwhile read, offering valuable insights into the cultural context of the music. Bit slow paced.

  16. Anju

    Beautifully written and researched! A must-read for anyone interested in Indian classical music.

  17. Tushar Choudhary

    I was really impressed by the way it captures the soul of Hindustani music. A powerful reading experience.

  18. Meenakshi R

    Some parts were fascinating, others were boring. A mixed bag overall. It depends on what you want.
