  1. Oisharya Chaudhuri –

    Gives valuable perspective on public health challenges in colonial Bengal. At times it was quite repetitive, but the research is solid. Glad I read it, overall.

  2. Piyush –

    A great resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine and public health in India. It’s well-written, well-researched, and offers great insight.

  3. Sahil Ahuja –

    Excellent scholarship. I am very pleased with the amount of new information that I learned. I will be recommending this book to other students of history.

  4. Pratyksha Mishra –

    I had mixed feelings about the book, but it did provide a great overview of epidemics in Bengal. Not a relaxing read, but a must read for history students.

  5. S Kanagasabai –

    Samanta offers a comprehensive view of epidemics. Found the details on cholera particularly insightful. A bit academic, but worth the effort. An interesting read.

  6. Siddhant Shailesh Pandya –

    An informative book, but the writing style is dry. Learned a lot about the impact of epidemics, but found it hard to stay focused at times. Overall, good but not great.

  7. Sonal Sanjay Kumar Lodha –

    A detailed look at colonial Bengal’s struggle with disease. Sometimes dense, but valuable insights. I appreciate the historical context provided, though it could be more engaging.

  8. Tanu Singh –

    Living with Epidemics is a must-read for history buffs. Well-researched and thought-provoking. Could use some maps and timelines, however.

  9. Bhukiya Sai Shreya –

    It’s a little too academic for my taste. It was a difficult read and I had to push myself to finish the book. It contained useful historical data though.

  10. Eshan Barnala –

    I had a very difficult time reading through this book. The prose was dense, but it provided great information that I needed for my research paper.

  11. Karan Pradeep Kunnumal –

    This book was more interesting than I thought it would be. I found the chapter on the plague to be the most interesting. Highly recommend this book.

  12. Ankur Kumar –

    An okay read. Not a page turner but if you need to know about that time period and subject, it will have what you need. Not sure if I would read it again.

  13. Kavya Sharma –

    This book offers great insight into the era, giving a voice to the everyday person living in that period of time. I enjoyed the read a great deal.
