Interesting but not always convincing. Presents a different view, but I felt some points lacked sufficient evidence. Still, worth reading.
Sumit Kumar –
A valuable contribution to the discussion, even if I didn’t agree with every conclusion. Ahmed raises important questions that need answering.
Supriya Bharti –
Excellent scholarship! Offers a deep dive into the subject. However, be prepared for a very academic and at times, dry writing style.
Eshan Barnala –
A thought-provoking read! Ahmed offers a balanced perspective on a complex issue. It challenged my assumptions, but at times felt a bit dense.
Prerna Shrivastava –
Important book for understanding contemporary India. It’s insightful and well-researched, though some arguments could have been stronger.
Abhishek Anand –
An eye-opening account of the realities faced by Muslims in India. A must-read for anyone interested in Indian politics and society.
Shradha Chhatwal –
Ahmed’s analysis is sharp and nuanced. A crucial addition to the discourse on Indian Muslims, although it can be quite academic at times.
Anand Shukla –
Provides a needed counter-narrative. While informative, I wished it was more accessible to a general audience. Some sections were hard to get through.
