25 reviews for Savarkar: A Contested Legacy from a Forgotten Past

  1. Reza Raihan Mandal

    An important book for understanding a controversial figure in Indian history. It’s well-researched, but I wish it were more accessible to the average reader.

  2. Lakshyaa Anand

    The book offers a valuable, though occasionally sympathetic, look at a controversial figure. A worthwhile read with some reservations.

  3. Vibhuti Aggarwal

    It’s a tough but crucial read that explores a controversial figure’s impact. Not a light read, but worth it for the insights.

  4. Ishita Mishra

    A compelling read and thought provoking portrayal of a person with a huge impact on Indian history.

  5. Shubham Sehgal

    An essential resource for historians. Provides a balanced view, encouraging further investigation.

  6. Muskan Gupta

    A well-written and insightful biography. It sheds light on a previously obscure and misunderstood figure.

  7. Malvika Sharma

    Though some parts were a slog, overall, I appreciated the depth of research and the attempt at objectivity.

  8. Manya Chauhan

    I struggled to get through this book. The writing was too academic, and the arguments were often convoluted.

  9. Stuti Seth

    An engaging and informative read. It challenged my preconceived notions about Savarkar and Indian history.

  10. Rupesh Kumar

    A comprehensive biography that doesn’t shy away from the difficult questions. It could have benefited from more maps and visual aids.

  11. Manisha Kumari

    This book is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Indian political thought. It is worth the effort despite its density.

  12. Raju

    Extremely detailed and insightful. It definitely gives food for thought and a new perspective on a key figure.

  13. Renuka Sanjeev Bhure

    I appreciated the author’s attempt to remain neutral, but at times, it felt like he was defending Savarkar’s more problematic views.

  14. Aswin Rajesh

    A well-researched biography, though the author’s fondness for the subject occasionally shines through.

  15. Sumedh Yeshwant Bhandare

    This book definitely provides a detailed portrayal of Savarkar’s life. At some point, it felt like a biased one-sided story.

  16. Vibhu Vibhor Tiwari

    I found the book repetitive. While comprehensive, it lacked a clear narrative arc making it a chore to read.

  17. Dhruv Singh

    A thought-provoking but dense read. Savarkar’s life was certainly complex, and this book attempts to unpack it. Some parts felt repetitive.

  18. Anuj Pandey

    This book definitely sparked my interest in learning more about Indian history. Savarkar’s story is fascinating and unsettling.

  19. Dhritiraj Pathak

    While meticulously researched, the book is dense and assumes prior knowledge. Not for casual readers.

  20. Harshit Yadav

    A balanced account of a complicated man. I appreciated the nuanced approach, even if it left me with more questions than answers.

  21. Ritik Singhal

    I learned a lot about Savarkar’s role in the freedom movement. The writing style, though, was a bit dry for my taste.

  22. Shubham Singh

    A deep dive into Savarkar’s life and ideology. Be prepared for a challenging but rewarding read. Not a light undertaking!.

  23. Pradaksh Chatter

    A decent effort to portray Savarkar’s life. Yet, the book struggles to fully capture the essence of his controversial journey.

  24. Sumit Kumar Jayant

    Savarkar’s legacy is undoubtedly contested, and this book explores why. A valuable addition to any history buff’s collection.

  25. Anitej Nayan Gopal

    Sri M.M. Sri does a good job presenting different perspectives on Savarkar. However, I found the author’s own bias occasionally peeking through.
