  1. Ashish Tewari

    A critical examination of free speech in India. It challenged my assumptions and offered new insights.

  2. Aanand Kumar

    This book is a game changer. It provides a crucial, nuanced understanding of free speech in India’s historical context.

  3. Sunny B Joseph

    A solid overview, but I felt the conclusion could have been stronger and offered more solutions.

  4. Anup Mangwani

    A thought-provoking read on India’s free speech journey. Chandrachud presents a compelling, if somewhat disheartening, perspective on the Constitution’s impact.

  5. Arpita Tripathi

    Interesting premise, but the execution felt a little flat. I was hoping for more practical examples.

  6. Himanshu Kumar

    A detailed and well-researched book, but I wish it were more accessible to a general audience. Heavy on legal jargon.

  7. Himanshu Kumar

    Chandrachud’s analysis is sharp and incisive. A significant contribution to the field of constitutional studies.

  8. Abhimanyu Anurag

    The book is undeniably scholarly. But it made me think differently about free speech in India. Worth the effort!

  9. Kartik Chanana

    While informative, the book can be dry at times. However, the core argument about free speech limitations is very persuasive.

  10. Saket Laxman Shende

    Provides a unique perspective on free speech, highlighting the continuity between colonial and post-colonial restrictions.

  11. Tanushree Agarwal

    The author’s central argument about colonial laws is compelling. The writing style is clear and the arguments presented are easy to follow.

  12. Jai

    An insightful analysis of free speech in India, though at times it felt a bit too academic. Still, a worthwhile read for those interested in the subject.

  13. Anil Sandhu

    I appreciated the historical depth, although the book could have benefited from a more engaging writing style.

  14. Ujjwal Jha

    A dense but rewarding exploration of India’s rhetorical landscape. Be prepared for a challenging, but ultimately enlightening, read.

  15. Revat Mehra

    Republic of Rhetoric is a must-read for anyone interested in Indian constitutional history and the evolution of free speech.

  16. Varun Gandhi

    Chandrachud’s book offers a fresh take on free speech. I found the historical context fascinating and the arguments well-supported.
