I came across this book through the Blogchatter Ebook Carnival and am glad that I got an opportunity to read it.
Early in the book, the author, Aditya Sathe speaks about the greatness of our country and I couldn't agree more. India is indeed a nation full of rich and varied heritage. There are marvelous places in our country that are not so well known but deserve a wider reach. With the global COVID pandemic situation, we are all locked in our homes and this further deters any travel plans for the near future. Luckily, for all book lovers, the best way to travel places is through books, and the book, "Incredible India Bucket List" is an honest attempt to take us through 26 amazing places in our country.
What's covered in this book?
This book takes us through 26 fabulous places in India and has detailed information on each place along with pictures. The author talks about the origin of the place, the history behind it, and tales related to the place. On the whole, the book takes us on a wonderful tour across India.
What I liked about the book?
I like the fact that all the details listed in this book are so well-researched. Each chapter in this book speaks about a place and you can get all possible information related to it, such as why the place got its name, mythological references, etc. For example, Warangal is my birthplace and I've been to Warangal Fort many a time but I never knew most of the things covered in that chapter. The bonus is the well-captured pictures all presented at the right places.
I also like the variety of places chosen in this book. In a secular country like ours, it's very easy to find places of worship everywhere and it would be easy to write about them. But, the author chose interesting places of history such as India Gate, Jallianwala Bagh, Rashtrapathi Bhavan, etc.
On the whole, I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to all travel and history lovers out there. Can't wait to read more content from the author.
I thank Blogchatter for creating this amazing carnival where we get to read a variety of books from all over our country and beyond.
