Ronen Ghose was born in Patna Bihar, India during the turbulent closing years of British India. As a child, he witnessed the unpleasant consequences of Partition in East Bengal, now Bangladesh then East Pakistan, as well the wonderful friendship and assistance given to his family by Muslims in East Pakistan.
Child of the Raj covers a unique and fascinating period of British and Indian history, as seen through the eyes of someone who lived through it. From the twilight years of the British Raj and the blossoming freedom under Prime Minster Nehrv, the first Prime Minister of India, Child of the Raj is the ideal read for anyone interested in this exciting and often turbulent time in history. From Bengal, Calcutta in 1929 all the way up to present day India, this is not a book to miss.
Beautiful. Poignant. Phenomenal.
This was a beautify read and I learnt so much. I cried and I smiled and there was nothing more that I wanted from this book. Truly a gem. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
