  1. Aditya Kumar –

    Trautmann brings Ghalib to life! A bit academic at times, but overall, a rewarding read. The historical context is excellent.

  2. Akshat Chourasia –

    It’s a good intro to Ghalib, but could be more engaging. I wish it had more direct quotes from his poems.

  3. Deepti Singh –

    Good, but focused a little too much on the historical aspects rather than the poetry itself, in my opinion.

  4. Saksham Sharma –

    An insightful exploration of Ghalib’s life and poetry. It really painted a picture of a complex and brilliant man.

  5. Adarsh Pandey –

    A decent introduction to Ghalib’s life. I wish there were more in-depth analysis of his poetry, though. Still, a good starting point.

  6. Riti Fauzdar –

    A wonderful biography! It sparked my interest in Urdu poetry. Highly recommended for history buffs and poetry lovers.

  7. Aastha Sharma –

    It was ok. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it. There was not much emotional depth so I was unable to connect with Ghalib.

  8. Chirag S –

    Absolutely loved it. I was not familiar with Ghalib before. It has given me a great appreciation for Urdu poetry.

  9. Anoushka Baral Swamy –

    Readable and informative, but not particularly gripping. Good for students, perhaps, but not a casual read.

  10. Sai Chander P. –

    I enjoyed learning about Ghalib’s world. The book can be a bit dry, but the insights into Mughal India are fascinating.

  11. Sandhya Ravi –

    I found the writing style a bit dense. It was hard to get through at times. However, it was full of interesting facts

  12. Nitish Kumar Singh –

    A well-researched and comprehensive biography. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in South Asian history or literature.

  13. Paras Gohri –

    This book provided great context around Ghalib’s life and times. Really helped me appreciate his poetry more.
