Reviews

[Ravi Prakash · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have read this book two years ago and jotted down notes and underlines on the pages, as I often do while reading. This is covers entire modern history in brief conceptual way, revealing some Whys and Hows of that period.

[Shreyansh Thakur · Rating 2 out of 5]

In this book, there is not even a passing reference to major events like the 2 nation theory of the Muslim League, its resolution demanding a partition of India, the support given to it by the CPI and the unprecedented violence by the Muslim League against Hindus. The Partition of India has been referred to in this book in a roundabout manner blaming it on some ‘communal forces’. In fact, it cleverly conveys a hint that the Hindus played the major and fundamental role in creating communal forces, without giving any proof. The message of the entire book: To hell with imperialism, Long Live socialism, Hindu consciousness is nothing but communalism, Hindu nationalists albeit unwittingly were responsible for communalism, and Marxists have been the most positive leaders of the country.

[Dr Amit Srivastava · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the most popular book on Indian Freedom Struggle. It is considered as a must for competitive services examinations due to its informative utility. This book explains the story of struggle in a systematic manner with uninterrupted way. However, this book has given over emphasis on Congress-history. That's the only lope-side of this book.
