  1. Bhabana Rabha –

    It’s a crucial examination of how national identity is built, often at the expense of historical accuracy. Highly recommend it.

  2. Panchal Sakshi Ramesh –

    This book offers valuable insights into the India-Pakistan divide. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in the region’s history.

  3. Arpita Tripathi –

    A thought-provoking exploration of historical narratives. It is sometimes biased, but overall informative.

  4. Sahil Chahal –

    Important work! Reveals how history is manipulated. Some parts are dense, but the insights are worth the effort.

  5. Prateek Verma –

    The book is a real eye-opener. It’s disturbing how differently history is taught. Everyone should read this to understand the roots of conflict.

  6. Brishti Hazra –

    A well-researched and insightful analysis, however, a bit dry in its presentation, lacking the spark to captivate readers.

  7. Archit Jhawar –

    Found the comparison of textbooks incredibly insightful. The student essays added a powerful personal dimension.

  8. Anagha Jain –

    The book had a strong premise, but the execution was lackluster, with repetitive arguments and a lack of fresh perspectives.

  9. Abdul Aamir Tajar –

    Despite its flaws, the book offers a worthwhile exploration of historical narratives and their impact on shaping perceptions.

  10. Sameer Sanjay Bhosle –

    Interesting concept, but I found some sections repetitive. The student essays were a highlight though. Overall, an okay read.

  11. Shekhar Sharma –

    A fascinating, albeit unsettling, look at how history is shaped. The textbook comparisons are eye-opening. Gave me a lot to think about.

  12. Faizan Ali –

    An okay book. It was an interesting concept, but it could have been executed better. Some parts dragged on.
