  1. Navya Rohatgi –

    The book was mediocre and dragged on. It could’ve been shorter.

  2. Ansh Dayal Lakhani –

    Detailed and informative, but not always the most engaging. A good resource for researchers, though.

  3. Manish Kumar –

    Interesting concept, but I found the book a little dry. More personal stories would have made it more engaging. Good research though.

  4. Siddharth Vankam –

    I didn’t like the writing style. I had a hard time understanding some of the concepts.

  5. Shashaank Malik –

    The book was a bit boring and didn’t retain my attention.

  6. Aaina Narang –

    A great read for anyone interested in social history. The comparisons between the two cultures were especially insightful. Book cover could have been better

  7. Ahammed Omar Fathahi –

    I found this book very captivating! The details about Calcutta and London were amazing.

    The author did a good job in comparing lives of London and Calcutta clerks. It was insightful, though sometimes the language was a bit tough.

  9. Ravinder Kumar –

    I learned a lot about a period I knew little about. Some parts were a bit slow, but overall, a good book. I like the conclusion.

    A well-researched book offering a unique perspective. I appreciated the insights into the lives of clerks in both Calcutta and London.

  11. Byreddi Sri Kavya Chandrika –

    The book started strong but lost momentum in the middle. Still, worth reading if you’re interested in colonial history. The author did a great job by elaborating the social and economic factors.

  12. Himanshu –

    The book was alright. Expected more insights. It felt like a chore to finish it.

  13. Lisha –

    This book deserves a read! Kudos to the author.

  14. Gayathri Suresh –

    A fascinating comparison! I enjoyed learning about the clerks’ lives, but sometimes the academic language was a bit dense. Still, a worthwhile read.

  15. Das Nihar Ranjan Ajay Kumar –

    A fascinating glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during a time of great change. Highly recommended!

  16. Devesh Upadhyay –

    This is a well researched book, filled with great insights. I’d highly recommend it.

  17. Dave Rushi Bhaveshbhai –

    Chakrabarti provides a detailed look at a little-explored area of history. Some sections were repetitive, but overall, informative.

  18. Piyush Gohri –

    A decent book. I wish it was more clear and concise.

  19. Bashar Khan –

    I was hoping for more personal accounts, but it was largely an academic overview. Still, a solid contribution to the field.
