It’s one of those books which are intriguing but since it’s also written as a research paper, I lost interest quite early.
Some of the findings are so beautiful, I know it’s a wrong word to describe research but I was actually mesmerised with some portions while most others were skipped.

‘John Lang’ delves into the intriguing life of John Lang, an unconventional character who left a mark on history. Lang, a writer, journalist, and lawyer, dedicated himself to challenging the powerful East India Company. His feminist novels and his love for India juxtaposed with his disdain for England showcase his unique perspective.

The author, Amit Ranjan, skillfully captures Lang’s eccentricities and his battles against the establishment, painting a vivid picture of a misunderstood man. The inclusion of Lang’s own writings adds depth and allure to the narrative.

Although challenging at times, the book offers a mesmerizing journey through history and a lesser-known aspect of Lang’s life. Literature and history enthusiasts will find this book captivating, while casual readers may struggle to fully grasp its contents. Overall, it is a thought-provoking and engrossing read that sheds light on a fascinating period in history.
