Its a romp! Perhaps Indian history lends itself naturally to the magical realism of Rushdie.

Quite dreary. And the way it presents a beingn picture of colonial history over natives, is quite something! So

Well intentioned, but proving a real chore. Very dry prose.

Mukesh Kumar is on page 113 of 316 of Fall of the Mughal Empireø‚ - Vol. I [Hardcover]
Steeped in colonial verbiage. But difficult to put down. Must have been a seminal work at its time!
