The author takes a journey throughout India to understand the history of our culture and rich heritage. For someone who likes to keep updated on yoga and Ayurveda, it wasn't new for me entirely but other topics like handloom and CropConnect were really interesting to get to know about. It was like visiting the history, lives of entrepreneurs, textiles and other areas through the eyes of Kaninika. She has a great form of articulating her thoughts as well as bringing in the picture of what is happening and what lead to the innovative India where we reclaimed our cultural heritage and implemented in whatever way that is accessible and convenient for the modern lives. I think it has a great wisdom to learn from and analyze and compare the contemporary India to the past.


There are two things that bothered me though. 1) I noticed a couple of times where it was kind of in a doubt whether muslims will accept yoga and Ayurveda. I mean the response was positive but I don't think there's any need to ask it. The book clearly is supposed to be about 'Indian heritage' which means absolutely we are included in that too and we have been practicing like every other person. 2) I found that 'Patanjali' was greatly advertised and to a point, I had to check if it was Baba Ramdev who is funding the book
