    The book provided good detail on the history of Punjab. Some sections felt repetitive. It was a good read overall.

  2. Vivek Vijayakumar –

    A detailed account, but sometimes gets bogged down in specifics. Still, a valuable resource for understanding Punjab’s role in the Raj.

  3. Anjali Gupta –

    A solid academic work. I wish there were more personal stories to balance the political analysis. Helpful to learn about pre-partition history.

  4. Rohit Bhardwaz –

    This is an amazing book, really detailed and well-written. It helped me understand more about my own family history. This book is essential to understanding partition.

  5. Anonymous –

    An okay overview of the political landscape, but I was hoping for more on the social impacts. Worth reading if you need a general understanding.

  6. Rishav Jha –

    Excellent scholarship! This book clearly explains the build-up to partition and the forces at play in Punjab. Highly recommended.

  7. Harshit Sharma –

    Talbot’s analysis is insightful. It sheds light on the complex relationship between Punjab and British rule. A bit dense, but worth the effort.

    I found this book incredibly insightful, providing a balanced view of British influence and local politics. The discussion of land ownership was especially enlightening.

  9. Nikhil Kashyap –

    A bit dry in places, but packed with information. Really appreciate the focus on the Unionist Party.
