"This book really gave me a understanding of what happened in India from '46 until today. In history classes in school, we learnt a lot about what happened until '47 and not much about what happened since then. This surely expanded my knowledge base about India. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand India as a country!"
"Yes it has many pages but if you have the time it's worth it. I walked away from it having a much better understanding of India and how difficult Britian made things for them. I once thought India was one individual culture when in fact it is numerous cultures melded together, like the US."
"A large and sweeping portrait that may well be called "magisterial". Guha's research is dauntingly thorough, his portrayal of India's political history deeply comprehensive- which might be chief among the book's very few flaws; the political harrumphing is often an impediment to the flow of the narrative, which, at its best, manages to reflect the buzzing, pulsing vibrancy of its subject. Yet, the author's affection for the country is unabashed, and serves as the engine and framework for this grand ode to democracy in action."
