Papers are too dark, Small Font
Not a Content review : Papers are too grayish. Print is also average. Fonts are quite small. And packaging was poor that it bent the back cover page slightly. But still giving four stars as I haven't read the book but I heard it's good.

A milestone.
This book is the source code for all authors and scholars indeed. Arguably the best book to understand the western concept and devious construct of eastern civilization specially Indic culture at large.

A great scholarship.
It is one of the finest approaches to understand the limitations of western scholarship developed around analysing "the orient" .

Ouvrage à lire pour comprendre l’origine du wokisme
Ce livre est très intéressant à relire, ou même à lire bien longtemps après sa parution, car on y trouve à la fois l’origine du Wokisme , parfaitement analysée, et un parangon de la mauvaise foi musulmane et de la Taqiyah dont l’Occident dans son immense naïveté souffre tant aujourd’hui

Libro en perfecto estado
El libro llegó antes de lo esperado y en muy buen estado.Está bien pero al leerlo mucho rato seguido se hace pesado y hay partes que no se entiende nada, es muy específico y hay muchos nombres y detalles.
