    A fantastic book! Learned so much about the history of India through its maps. Well-written and visually stunning, worth every penny.

    A decent read. The map reproductions are excellent, but sometimes the text felt a bit dry. Still, a valuable resource for understanding historical perspectives.

    An interesting concept, but the writing could be more engaging. The map quality is great, but the narrative felt a bit lacking.

    While the book is well-researched, I found it a bit academic. Not a casual read, but informative if you’re serious about cartography.

    Very informative and detailed, maybe a bit too detailed! It’s a great resource for researchers, but might not appeal to everyone.

    Gole’s work offers a unique lens into Indian history. Some sections were dense, but overall, the book is informative and visually appealing.

    The book is visually stunning, but the information overload can be overwhelming. Take your time to digest the content. A slow burner.

  12. Pratyush Singh Chauhan –

    A worthwhile addition to any history or geography collection. Gole’s insights are valuable, although some prior knowledge is helpful.

  13. Bysani Sai Rasmitha –

    The maps are fascinating, but the text is a bit dense. Requires patience and a keen interest in the subject matter. Good for research.

    Exceptional detail and beautiful maps! ‘India within the Ganges’ is a scholarly work that is also surprisingly accessible. Loved it.

    I found some of the descriptions repetitive. Overall, the book is a great starting point for exploring India’s cartographic past, though.

  16. Vansh Mahajan –

    I loved exploring the old maps! The book offers a great glimpse into how India was perceived. A bit pricey, but worth it for map lovers.
