3.5

challenging informative reflective tense medium-paced

i really enjoyed this book. i did a module for my BA on south asian politics so i knew a little about how india gained its independence and the conflicts with pakistan but it was really interesting getting to see the history of colonialism behind it. with that being said, i think i would have enjoyed it more if i did have a better knowledge of indian history other than gandhi and the more modern political disputes.
