"in the last ten years or so I have not read a book which is comparable to Bidyut Chakrabartys in it richness of material, quality, rigour, scope, sweep, lucidity, and readability. I would even consider this script as a kind of trend-setter." - P. Radhakrishnan, Professor, Sociology, Madras Institute of Development Studies, Chennai, India, and prominent social critic
"[ T]he volume remains an appropriate and timely intervention that, with its thematically organised bibliography, will be an asset for all interested in the politics of modern India." - Soumen Mukherjee, University of Heidelberg, Germany; Contemporary South Asia, Vol. 18, No. 4, December 2010
