  1. Bharath P H –

    Important but depressing. Showed some ugly truths about education in India. Not an easy read, but a necessary one.

  2. Soumya Sudeep Sinha –

    The book offers a compelling narrative but meanders a lot. The intersectionality of caste, class, and gender is well explored, but the writing style is uneven.

  3. Isha Choudhary –

    A critical perspective, indeed! This book challenges many assumptions about education. Highly recommend it.

  4. Kaushiki Pandey –

    I appreciated the stories and analysis, but I wish there were more solutions offered. Still worth reading.

    This book is a wake-up call. The author exposes the harsh realities of education disparities. A must-read!

    Good analysis of the issues, but the book felt overly academic at times. Needed more personal stories from the ground.

    The book is informative, but some arguments felt a bit biased. Still, it’s a valuable contribution to the discussion.

    Excellent examination of the political forces at play in education. I learned a lot from this book and would recommend to anyone.
