Interesting overview of India's role in the Great War, and the war's role in the development of modern India & Pakistan. Sheds some light on Gandhi's anti-war stance during WW2. An interesting aspect is the obscurity of primary sources about the Indian soldiers' experiences in the Great War. The writing was a little dry, and there were some sentences that didn't make sense, so (like my goodreads reviews) this book could have used some more editing.
