3.0

I might say that this book had incredible potential to talk about one of the most interesting characters in the modern history of the South Asian subcontinent. It certainly delivered in the first half, but faltered in the second. I cannot help but think this might be due to the current sociopolitical situation in our neighbouring country. That said, I couldn’t be more glad to understand Begum Ra’ana with a modicum of clarity. Despite the weaknesses of the book’s argument and the repetition of facts(as well as inconsistencies in spelling), I am still pleased to have read it.
