«This represents the most wide-ranging sample of Indian military opinion yet undertaken. Kundu's study is an important addition to the understanding of the Indian military provided by earlier studies. It demonstrates the value of blending documentary with oral sources and of adopting an inter-disciplinary approach to South Asian Studies.»
«This is extremely readable volume; each article contains personal reflection, anecdote, and ethnographic detail.»
«This book deals, importantly and expertly, with what most other anthropological studies leave out: the individual person. The contributors take large strides towards filling this yawning anthropological gap, including in their analyses a wide spectrum ofethnographic types, from Tarai-dwellers to those living in the highest mountainssss»
«Collectively, these essays remind us of the central importance of individual persons whenever we attempt to understand culture and the ways that it shapes, and is shaped by, personal identities. By delivering this reminder so sharply and concretely, the book is clearly a success and deserves to be read.»
«This is an attractive and readable volume which all specialists on Nepal should consult.»

«[This] volume consists of .... ethnographic studies [which] explore the dialectical relationship between individuals and their sociocultural and historical environment....all the contributions are important components of a well-disciplined, unitary exercise.»
«This represents the most wide-ranging sample of Indian military opinion yet undertaken.

«This is a strong contribution to the ethnography of Nepal, South Asia, and an important exploration of contemporary theories of the processes of self-formation and in and against daily practices and dominant discourses.»
«The book is an important one, not only because of its subject matter, but also because of the way such examinations proceed; few anthropologists have looked at individual lives in Himalayan societies in such ethnografically rich, theoretically sophisticated terms. One of the volume's strengths is the ethnographic diversity and comprehensiveness staked out by the contributors. Another is the matrix of concepts, questions, insights, assessments and reassessments that results from a careful reading of the chapters.»
