Book Review: Shared Roots - Tales from the Indosphere

Shared Roots: Tales from the Indosphere by Ratul Chakraborty My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is an interesting mix of fiction and travelogue.

Saxena give us an enchanting reading experience of the rich shared heritage of India and Cambodia. View all my reviews

Then I realised that I have been working on a very niche aspect of merging scient...
