This was an excellent overview of the legacies of British colonialism. I often have mixed feelings on non-fiction historical books that marry memoir aspects but I haven't read a study on empire by a Sikh author before and so this was a really interesting and refreshing take on the subject for me. Overall it was also very accessible and I would definitely recommend it. I know his next book is out soon and I'll definitely be listening to that as well.
