Women and Sabarimala : The Science behind Restrictions by Sinu Joseph

informative inspiring medium-paced

4.75

Sinu Joseph in this book explains the science behind the restrictions of women entering Sabarimala temple. The book definitely upholds temple's tradition but also gives the explanation with pictorial references of chakras , nervous system. 

Urban Naxals by Vivek Agnihotri

informative fast-paced

2.75

This book is about making of the movie Buddha. I agree that brainwashing starts at very young age and is very dangerous but but but how is it good to name everyone as urban naxals if they do not subscribe to your opinions ?  One thing that irked me is how this guy went on to disclose personal lives of actors and actresses as if they consented him to do so. He is a story teller and he did tell the story pretty well. But that's just that. All of us should take his views with a pinch of salt. 

India that is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilisation, Constitution by J. Sai Deepak
Did not finish book.

informative inspiring slow-paced

3.25

Well as an avid reader I didn't really like the book because it doesn't at all feels like you are reading the book but rather jsd shouting at you from the book. Jsd as a lawyer argues in the book to prove his point rather than putting forward his opinions as an author. Also in most of the parts he continues to quote other books like a lawyer quoting sections than explaining readersabout it.So altogether if you love reading, you will not like the book. But the parts where jao spoke about colonialism is on point. It's tiresome to read this book but also an experience as you will learn new things.
