thank you. 1 + 2.

Excellent. Thanks! I was quite amused to see that the author name was in Urdu inside. It's almost as if she's challenging the average English reader to find out the author's identity. :)

Thanks.

Really wonderful book and provide an insight of India that was in the mid-nineteenth century. Alas! none of the Indian authors have produced such great work as this, so far.

What is the price for reading online?
