  1. Priya Pandey

    Gives valuable information about modern India, but the language feels complicated for a casual read.

  2. Prakhar Purohit

    Excellent information regarding India’s economic growth. The stories and writing are very insightful.

  3. Subhayan Chowdhury

    Mukherjea offers a unique lens on India. I found the arguments convincing and well-supported. Highly recommend!

  4. Karan Khurana

    Interesting ideas, but I felt the author glossed over some critical issues. Needed more balance.

  5. Vinit Yadav

    A fascinating perspective on India’s growth. Mukherjea challenges common narratives, but the book felt a bit repetitive at times.

  6. Ujjwal

    Good book, could use a little more flare but the book is overall well written.

  7. Khemane Sharanbasappa Yoginath

    Not bad. The book offers some great insights into modern India, however, it can be too boring at times.

  8. Neeraj Davis

    A well-researched and compelling account of India’s progress. A recommended read.

  9. Ayush Gupta

    While I appreciate the positive spin, I wish the author had delved deeper into the challenges India faces.

  10. Anant Kumar Yadav

    A fresh perspective about a rising nation. I would recommend it for anyone interested in global economics.

    Engaging and insightful. The examples are well-chosen and paint a vibrant picture of India’s rise.

    Insightful and interesting. This is a great read for anyone looking to expand their knowledge on India.

  13. Komal Gupta

    An okay read, not too interesting but not bad either. The author is a little biased in his views though.

  14. Ansh Dubey

    A fresh breath of air, the insight and perspective that the author shares in this book is amazing.

  15. Prachi

    A good book to learn about the modern rise of India, but some information feels surface level.

  16. Prity Rani

    I loved the insights into India’s economic progress. Some parts were dense, but overall, a worthwhile read.

  17. Praujjal Das

    Very good. I think it’s a very well-written book that is a must-read for anyone.

  18. Aryan D. Rout

    The book had some interesting information, but not enough to hold my attention.

  19. Pratham

    A thought-provoking book, though it leans towards optimism. It’s a good counterpoint to typical portrayals of India.

  20. Joy Banerjee

    An okay book, it has good information and data, but I had some disagreements with the author.

  21. Prayush Kishan

    Some of the information may come off as dry, but the book itself is a good read.

  22. Ketan Hari Hazra

    Informative but dry. The data is compelling, but the writing style made it a bit of a slog to get through.

    A must-read for anyone interested in India’s modern transformation. It gave me a fresh perspective.

  24. Adrish Roy

    I loved reading this book and learning more about the modern rise of India as a nation.
