The Anarchy: The East India Company, Corporate Violence, and the Pillage of an Empire by William DalrympleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Yeah, no convincing needed for me to believe that British were worst news for India and this book from one of the most favorite historians William Dalrymple is another masterstroke from the master historian. This book is his probably third book about Mughals and British (The White Mughals and The Last Mughal) being other two but this one is mostly focused more on East India Company and how that corporation created an advanced army and was able to defeat all the other empires and chaos and anarchy created by the events set in motion by them. The narration was so well and the book so well that as soon as I was about 3 hours in I also ordered the Hardcover version of the book partly because I wanted to read it in detail later but also to be able to see all the wonderful paintings and illustrations given throughout of the book. So here goes my first review of the year 2020. I am glad that I could start the year with a 5-star book and I hope that the rest of the year follows the suit.
People who don't read generally ask me my reasons for reading. Simply put I just love reading and so to that end I have made it my motto to just Keep on Reading. I love to read everything except for Self Help books but even those once in a while. I read almost all the genre but YA, Fantasy, Biographies are the most. My favorite series is, of course, Harry Potter but then there are many more books that I just adore. I have bookcases filled with books which are waiting to be read so can't stay and spend more time in this review, so remember I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.
