Critical review

[edit]

Tunku Varadarajan of The Wall Street Journal wrote "Where Mr. Tharoor’s book is at its weakest is in its absence of clear remedies or solutions, beyond well-meaning but somewhat trite assertions that India needs “a rearmed liberalism, with a mass movement for the restoration of our civic nationalism.”[2] Reg Naulty of Rationale Magazine wrote "this book contains much wisdom",[3] Arushi Ganguly of Australian Institute of International Affairs wrote "the book is enlightening for those who wish to gain critical insight into the ruling government of India."[4] and Murali Kamma of New York Journal of Books wrote "In his sobering yet compelling book, Tharoor shows how in today’s India, where Hindu nationalists are firmly in power, a majoritarian mindset has supplanted the democratic mindset.”.[5] The book has been reviewed by Maximillian Morch of Asian Review of Books[6] and Reg Naulty of The Friend.[7]
