The book provides a lot of facts and looks well researched. However what was disappointing was that his views seem to be from a westerner (I know he lives in London), but then I would expect this from a westerner and not an Indian. Got the sense that the book was written keeping a western audience in mind, hence found it below where I hoped it would be.
Lot of the stuff from the Romantics (his best) is recounted in the first part of the book. Wish the western bias was missing from the second part.
