  1. Sanjana Srivastava –

    Solid resource for researchers, but not a casual read. It’s incredibly detailed.

  2. Arka Basumatary –

    Excellent resource for researchers! A bit too focused for casual readers. Highly recommend.

  3. Anupam Saggar –

    This book goes deep into the weeds sometimes. A bit much for a casual read.

  4. Puneet Raj –

    A thought-provoking read on the British Indian census, but a bit dense at times. Still, valuable insights.

  5. Ayush Mittal –

    A deep dive into the census! I wish there was more background information to give context.

  6. Drishti Singh –

    An informative book with some interesting facts but not something I would read again.

  7. Kanishka Sharma –

    A revealing study, but the writing is a bit dry and academic. Still valuable.

  8. Vishal –

    Interesting perspectives, yet the writing style is somewhat dry. Worth it for serious researchers.

  9. Sagar Gupta –

    Very interesting but dense, sometimes a bit hard to follow with all the details. Worth it though!

  10. Nikunj Singhal –

    Fascinating subject matter, but the author dives deep into detail, losing some of the broad appeal.

  11. Name –

    I learned a lot, but at times it felt like wading through mud. Stick with it, though!

  12. Sarbjeet Singh Gandhi –

    A very informative book that is quite detailed. You should read it if interested.

    Provides important historical context. I wish it had spent more time discussing impact.

    A great book! If you are studying the census in British India, this is a must have book.

  15. Siddharth Vankam –

    A great look at the census! It could have been a little bit longer, but it still a nice book.

  16. Saif Akhlaq –

    A comprehensive and meticulously researched book. Somewhat challenging but essential reading.

  17. Prayush Kishan –

    Good scholarship, but needs a more accessible style for general audiences. Great for academia.

  18. Aditya Kumar –

    Detailed and insightful. It really opened my eyes to the biases in historical data collection.

  19. Prayag Sharma –

    A necessary addition to any South Asian history collection. A bit academic, but informative.

  20. Raju –

    A complex and well-researched exploration. It’s a slow burn, but ultimately rewarding.

  21. Anshika Vashisht –

    Informative and well-written, although a little dense in certain sections. Good overall.

  22. Harsh Mahender Singh –

    Important but dense. Took me a while to get through it, but worth the effort.

  23. Arin Jain –

    The book was ok. It went into a lot of detail that didn’t matter to the overall picture.
