This book is ground breaking in providing comprehensive ecological history of the sub continent. Anthropology gets tied into narrative, expanding on the subject matter. This perhaps makes the book most enjoyable as we read migration of people, tribes and large communities over centuries and the ecological impact of them.
This is a unique book for sure in the way data is collated and presented in a way that a layman like me can consume. We get a fresh look at Caste systems and colonization through the lens of ecological history. That's intriguing.
