This is a great general knowledge book covering topics such as geography, world history, Indian polity and constitution, Indian economics etc.
It's a good and to the point book, good for competetive exams aspirants and for anyone who is curious for information.
Sometimes you can feel the author is biased like he said that ottomans did supress minorities and didn't allowed them to pray or let them or other( foreigners) pass for the holy journey I am not quite sure about it anyway, I should read more about this particular topic.
Though I would've preferred the print to be spaced out better cause everything looks squished together making it hard to study and keep track. There's no space for making notes as well. Still I would recommend it as it is compiled well.
I have read both hindi and english edition . It's best and easy source for Hindi and English medium students preparing for competitive exams like PSC ,SSC , other state exams to fight... It makes up fundamental level and it is a single book with lots of subjects like history geography economy polity etc beautifully...
