question:
The other side of silence... . I have read this book, Mr. Moon's &quot;Divide and Quit&quot;, Mr. Khosla's work, &quot;Stern Reckoning&quot; amongst others on the subject of the Partition. Ms. Butalia's work is so saturated with her personal opinions and idealogy, that it almost ceases to be a work on history than the airing of one's thoughts and mindset. Almost a diatribe, if I may. I will agree with what john_galt_who has written. I think he has hit the nail on the head. I did not consider this book worth either the money or the time
answer:
NEG


question:
Not worth the $$ . Extremely basic! It would be useful to have on hand, but the $ is way too much for the few quick tips the book offers
answer:
NEG


question:
Stereotype upon stereotype . We are reading this book for our book group.  I'm not sure if it made me uncomfortable because the perspective was so accurate or if it was because it never went beyond the stereotypes that I already have.    I didn't like one character in the book.  Even the dogs and the kid were annoying.  While that may have been the result of good writing, the end product was that I was left feeling nothing but "ick."   The characters seemed one dimensional even though a large amount of time was spent detailing their thoughts and opinions.  I never understood the "why's" behind any of their actions, just their histories.  Perhaps I was too slow to draw the conclusion.    I felt like a big, over consumerized, ungrateful loser.    If that's your thing, you may love the book.
answer:

NEG
