  1. Rohit Sharma –

    Interesting subject matter, but the writing style felt a little dry. I wished there were more illustrations and less jargon.

  2. Rohit –

    While the topic is inherently interesting, this book felt repetitive. I wish author focused on new findings.

  3. Shikhar Batra –

    I enjoyed learning about the potential rituals associated with these figures. The book is well-researched but could be more accessible to a general audience.

  4. Krishna Saraf –

    Ratnagar presents a compelling case for the significance of these female figures. The book is very comprehensive.

  5. Aditi Tomar –

    A fascinating glimpse into the Indus Valley civilization. Ratnagar offers compelling insights into the female figurines. A bit dense at times, but worth the read.

  6. Aditya Bisht –

    Ratnagar’s work is thorough and thought-provoking. The book successfully brings these ancient women to life. Highly recommended for archaeology enthusiasts!

  7. Shifa Islam –

    An excellent exploration of the symbolism and craftsmanship of the clay figurines. Ratnagar’s analysis is insightful and persuasive.

  8. Subhaditya Chatterjee –

    A detailed academic study of the Mohenjo-daro and Harappa figurines. I would’ve appreciated more on the daily lives of the people.

  9. Kartikey Sauliyal –

    I found the book to be informative, though I sometimes struggled with the archaeological terminology. Overall, a worthwhile read.
