| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Namit takes us on a fantastic package tour of Indian history covering a wide swathe of time - Harappa civilization through modern Varanasi. The presentation is novel in that the chapters alternate between a deep dive into a historical significant landmark and the writings and observations of foreign travelers to India during specific time periods. It is brilliantly researched. Namit’s scholarship is evident in the astute and insightful observations he makes in synthesizing the vast amount of material and historical scope. He is not shy about voicing his opinions within the context of the topic he is exploring at any instant. His writing is beautiful with vivid and evocative descriptions of the various stops in his time travel. Even though the subject matters is serious, Namit manages to infuse it with occasional humor and wit that makes this tour even more enjoyable. If you are Indian and want to know more about where you come from or just plain interested in Indian history, pick up this gem. |
