Well, I have the "Dosakhnama" by Rabisankar Dal. I bought it as I was interested in the early days of the subcontinent. However it turned out to be something containing all the dark sides, lots of swearing, malpractice explained vividly and rather a disturbing book to read. The author has received much appreciation for his work and this book has received accolades. But this is just not for me. I keep it on my shelf and whenever someone asks about it, I say that this is the worst book I have ever read. I ask if he or she wants it as the book is popular. It is still sitting there but maybe someday someone interested will receive it from me.
