4.0 out of 5 stars Good starting place if you want to know how India got formed

I was surprised with my own lack of knowledge about our own country. Thanks to the leaders in past, these things were never taught us in the classrooms.

Pros: This book gives a very good short summary of how each state got formed / changed post independence.

Cons: 1. It is written in a very dry, fact based manner. It is just a series of facts associated with events along with dates. It does provide detailed story behind the events. But, maybe that wasn’t the intent of the book 2. Too much of repetition. Author could have combined few chapters to avoid this. 3. Fee maps associated with each state’s evolution in each chapter would have been really nice.

Overall a good book as a starting point on the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can’t find a better book on the State’s Origin story !

While I have traveled to most states in india, however my knowledge of each state got richer with this book that took me through a fascinating journey of history and facts of how each state and union territory actually originated.

I had my many Aha! moments as I read through it to think that I did not know this interesting fact about the state though I would have been living there or lived there or been there and done that !

When you travel you gather bits and pieces of state’s history but this book through its simplicity in the writing takes you through the history of each state so effortlessly!

My congratulations and thank you to the author to give us this piece of work that is very well researched , crisp and to the point !

I would highly recommend this to everyone and I am sure you will find many Aha! moments just like i did discovering each state’s history through this book !
