  1. Karan Shaileshbhai Shah –

    Good historical context. Though written nearly a century ago, much of the details still feel relevant to economic challenges present today.

  2. Mamta Garg –

    A detailed look at Punjab’s past. Darling provides insights into peasant life, though the writing style is a bit dated. Still, a worthwhile read for history buffs.

  3. Mohan Chaubey –

    An insightful, but somewhat dense, study of rural economics. It gives a good overview of the debt issues faced by farmers in that era.

  4. Shantanu Singh –

    Darling’s book provides a window into the past. Some analysis is a little outdated but still a very insightful read.

  5. Manvi Singh –

    A very thorough investigation. I found it a bit too focused on historical detail and less on practical application in today’s context.

  6. Sudhanshu Rai –

    It’s a dense read. But if you are interested in how farming was in the past, then this book is a must read. I am glad I read this book.

  7. Pooja Hazarika –

    Very informative. A bit slow to get into, but ultimately rewarding. A valuable resource for researchers and students. A good book.

  8. Raveesh –

    This book opened my eyes to the challenges faced by farmers. The language is old, but the concepts are timeless and relevant even today.

  9. Vansh Mahajan –

    Fascinating historical analysis of the economic conditions of Punjabi peasants. Highly recommended for those interested in the topic.

  10. Aritro Roy –

    Important for understanding the roots of agricultural issues. A bit academic, but worth the effort if you’re serious about the subject.

  11. Nandini –

    A crucial read for understanding the historical context of Indian agriculture. Darling’s research is commendable.

  12. Nishant Kumar –

    A classic for a reason! Darling’s work offers a valuable perspective on agrarian society. Some parts were a little dry, though.

  13. Sheetal Nimaliya –

    Eye-opening account of peasant life. The details of debt and prosperity are vivid. I recommend it.
