    The book is very informative about the company rule and the history of India

  4. Priya Singh –

    The details in the book made it heavy and boring. I felt sleepy.

    A detailed look at a niche topic. Cassels does a great job outlining the complexities of the pilgrim tax. Some parts felt a bit dry, though.

    A scholarly work that is well-written. It provides valuable historical context for understanding religious practices under colonial rule.

  10. Risav Mondal –

    Well-researched and insightful, but not an easy read. The topic is interesting, but the writing style is very academic. Good resource.

    The book offers a unique perspective. I enjoyed learning about this forgotten history. Worth reading.

    Interesting subject matter, but the book felt a bit repetitive in places. Good information, could be presented better.

  13. Saksham Gupta –

    Opens your eyes to the financial motives during the Company Raj. Insightful.

  14. Shubhanshi Garg –

    Explores a crucial intersection of religion and power. However, it could be more accessible to a general audience.

  15. Jinendra –

    Fascinating historical account! I learned so much about the East India Company’s financial strategies. A bit dense at times.
