  1. Subhojit Saha –

    Great in-depth analysis, but it could be more concise. It feels like it could be half the size with better editing.

  2. Poojitha Matangi –

    The two-volume set is extensive, covering a lot of ground. However, navigating the content can sometimes be challenging.

  3. Vishal –

    A significant contribution to the field. Sheds light on India’s pioneering role in metallurgy. Highly recommend

  4. Ranjeet Singh Surjeet –

    I enjoyed learning about the history of zinc production. The book is well-structured. Overall a great book

  5. Ashish Shukla –

    A fascinating, albeit dense, exploration of ancient Indian metallurgy. The sheer amount of detail can be overwhelming, but rewarding for serious scholars.

  6. Antara Kashyap –

    A comprehensive look at the topic. The depth of knowledge is apparent, but it’s not exactly light reading. Prepare to dedicate time.

  7. Sudhanshu Yadav –

    The gems and alloys portion was particularly interesting, and the archeological background was well presented. Great read!

  8. Antara Kashyap –

    As a metallurgy enthusiast, this book was gold! So much information about early techniques, practices and process.

  9. Ekjot Singh Khurana –

    Detailed and informative, I especially liked the detail about mining techniques and processes during early civilization.

  10. Manisha Kumari Gobind Prajapati –

    This dives deep into the subject matter, and you will not be dissapointed with the level of detail shared in the book

  11. Shaivi Naaz –

    While informative, it’s quite academic. A more accessible version for general readers would be appreciated. Some sections are repetitive.

  12. Aashish Shrivastava –

    Good overview, but sometimes the writing felt a bit dry. Could have used more illustrations to break up the text.

  13. Hemant Kumar –

    Incredible research! I was particularly impressed by the sections on Wootz steel. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of technology.

  14. Vaibhav Kumar –

    It is a good resource, but difficult to get through. It requires a strong pre-existing knowledge of the subject matter.

  15. Vedant Kaul –

    Excellent resource for researchers and students. Well-cited and meticulously researched. A bit pricey, though.
