Reader's review : This book starts with Varshney speaking of the Saraswati river civilisation and he defends the historicity of Lord Krishna. For Half the book an average Indian feels proud of his nationality.
Later the reader finds himself reading a lot of amount of complete support to Indian culture. The author expresses that all Ancient cultures only duplicated Indian beliefs. For a while, it even seems that the author tries to add all knowledge possessed by him even in a context which is not worth it.
Yet it is an amazing book with some great twists and good narration. I can undoubtedly suggest this book to a reader.
Rating (personal) : 7.5 / 10
