Worth a read
The book is an interesting take on all the India myths that are passed around by e-mail and on social networking sites. It is a fun casual read from one of the most hilarious authors I have come across.

Absolute must read
The last time I enjoyed a book of non-fiction, so much I was reading Bill Bryson's A Short history of Nearly Everything. This book is just as good (the typos notwithstanding). It makes you laugh, it makes you stop and think about history, how we are taught it and how we interpret it and it makes you wonder about identity, being Indian and all that it entails. For a small book, thats a lot of value for money!

Wonderful. Informative and witty
Sidin's love for Indian history clearly shows and there is plenty of interesting information. Written in his witty style it is a good read, not like a history text book.
Is a must read for anyone who wants a starting place for looking into Indian history. Amazing how many people worked hard to make sense of our culture and we should certainly be interested in all of it.

Indian facts thoroughly researched and meticulously explained. Splendidly superb!
Sidin Sunny Vadukut's first attempt at Indian history and it's glory. An author/ editor who has established his roots on satire in general has decided to venture which many renowned historians and Indian culture critics have tried but failed... which is to please "non-history" fans such as me.
Sidin has managed to lay out his judgement by adopting an Indian culture agnostic, pride agnostic view of very well known Indian facts. He has still managed to imbibe his witty self in every reference,...

Great news Funny style history read
Good book written lucidly ...and it tries to explore facts of Indian history but it could be much better instead of relaying heavily only on foreign resources

History with a twist
A good book if you are interested in a unique view of "accepted India facts". Sidin has brought his witty and engaging style of fictional writing to his first non fictional attempt. Definitely recommended if you like unique takes on historical facts.

NOT that great ...
It is good for beginners who have started reading books. They may find it lighter and easy to understand. The author spends a lot of time talking about things which are completely irrelevant and sometimes annoying.
