Reviews for Revolutionary Pamphlets, Propaganda and Political Culture in Colonial Bengal
'The book made me wonder about the ways the revolutionaries may have innovated for decentralising production and expanding their circulation network in times of the steam engine … [It] notably foregrounds how the revolutionaries used the pamphlets to displace the 'anarchist' label on to the colonial masters in the ideological tussle between the two sides.'
