Omg! This book perfectly fits its description and I couldn't stop reading it but the next one is to arrive after 3 more days(I can't wait). This book is too good to be true
I think it's really good for us , who really didn't know the reasons behind so many traditions or following certain things wrongly!
A very well researched book. The information and the contents given are mind blowing. Indians were way ahead in all respects. Colonisation ,era, destroyed the rich Indian culture. The book gives out in detail the evolution and spread of Hindu knowledge of Science . A must read for the students and researchers . Every page you read , you realise how ignorant you are. A treasure for those interested
It's hard to describe, but this book have been one of those that let you be awake in late nights until you complete its reading
