  1. Rodhsi Singhal –

    Excellent comparative study! It really highlights the different paths taken by both countries. Highly recommended.

  2. Tishika Bansal –

    Comprehensive and well-written. I learned a lot about the different roles of the military in each nation.

  3. Shalini Dutta –

    Book is average, nothing much. A waste of money, not good as described. The book is okay to read.

  4. Saurabh Kumar Suman –

    A solid academic work. If you’re seeking an accessible, light read, then this book is not for you.

  5. Rishikesh Chaudhary –

    Good. I hoped to get more details. I suggest other reader to read other related books for broader perspective.

  6. Rishabh Kumar –

    A must-read for anyone interested in South Asian politics. Sondhi does a great job explaining complex issues.

  7. Urvi Bansal –

    Eye-opening! Sondhi’s ‘Poles Apart’ changed my views on how the military affects countries progress.

  8. Kovid Soni –

    Interesting perspective, although I disagreed with some of the author’s conclusions. Food for thought.

  9. Prashant –

    A good overview, but I found some of the arguments a bit simplistic. Still, a valuable contribution.

  10. Devansh Kukreti –

    The book provides a detailed account. It could have benefitted from more modern analysis. Still a valuable resource.

  11. Nitish Negi –

    I enjoyed the historical context. The writing style was a little dry. However, informative.

  12. Diksha Mishra –

    Sondhi offers a compelling analysis of the military’s impact. A bit dense at times but worth the effort.

  13. Panchal Sakshi Ramesh –

    This book does a great job. I love the information. I would suggest this book to everyone.

  14. Tanishq Sharma –

    The comparison is sharp. I felt the Pakistan section was stronger. It shed light into undemocratic government.

  15. Saksham Mathur –

    I am little disappointed with this book, did not get much information. It should be more clear and understandable

  16. Dibyendu Bose –

    An insightful read comparing India and Pakistan. I wish there was more on the current scenarios. Overall, well-researched.
