Brilliant
A very well researched book and that is what is expected from such a fabulous writer.William Dalrymple is always a delight to read.The author has brought to light many hitherto hidden aspects of colonial expansion in India.

Classy product
Really good and detailed book by William Dalrymple. This is book is about the decline of the Mughal empire/local principalities, the rise and fall of the Maratha confederacy, the subsequent anarchy and the eventual colonisation of the country by the EIC. all of this is narrated like a novel and William Dalrymple weaves his magic with a gripping narrative that doesn't feel like a history book at all.
