  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 Some analysis is a little outdated but still a very insightful read.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.
