Eye-opening! The author really gets into the nitty-gritty of historical thinking. Some chapters better than others. Worth the time to engage with the topic.
Kushagre Singh –
Well-researched and insightful, but the writing style could be more engaging. A must-read for history teachers. It is challenging but rewarding.
Abhishek Ujjainiya –
Interesting premise, but at times dry. The topic is crucial, and Nair’s experience shines through. Good for those already familiar with the field.
Sumit Lohani –
A complex and important topic handled with care. Nair offers a nuanced perspective that is rare to find. Some of the language may be too scholarly.
Shipra Sharma –
Nair’s essay is thought-provoking, but dense. It requires patience. I appreciated the insights into textbook politics but wish it were more accessible. Still a valuable read.
