Abhijith Nayak

A short read, slightly pedagogic but clarifies the difference between what constitutes a nation, a territory, an ethnicity, a state and a government

The editing, in the Indian black and white edition, is terrible. You'll still be able to gather a few pointers but it seems like no one even bothered to proofread the book, and the fonts and typography are a strain on the eye.

Excellent pieces, all of them, except the fawning, almost sycophantic, last piece by Vir Sanghwi and Bhandare

“Don't judge a book by its cover” - I always took it to mean that good covers can be bad books. But with this book, a terrible title and a boring cover hide a hard hitting, practical book.
