    Amazing story of Salt and British oppression in India
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on 7 April 2023*

The book chronicles the author's quest over 3 plus years researching a forgotten past of Indian colonialism with several visits to India to locate the remains of the Customs Hedge.  Not much exists as often farmed over or mostly replaced by a raised road-bed. But, it is found - at last!However, the best part of the book are the chapters where the author explains the body's need for salt and the inhumanity of a salt tax. The physiological as well as economic aspects are very well laid out and comparisons to China, Africa and European salt taxes are very interesting - sort of "I had no clue!"Great "CRT" chapter in the story of India.

    Forgotten History Remembered!
  

*by P***A on Reviewed in Japan on 7 May 2015*

We all know the Great Wall of China. It's an amazing piece of architecture and plays an important part in Chinese history.  But before reading this book, I had never heard of the "Great Hedge of India" and what its historical significance was for the Indian people.  How can something as big and long and historically significant as this be forgotten so completely by the world? Even by the people who lived next to it?  And then there is the very onerous salt tax that caused the hedge to be created. And the collection of that salt tax that led to the creation of this great living fence. How could Briton tax at such a high rate such a basic commodity for people's livelihood as salt?  Read this & find out just exactly how much money was made in the United Kingdom off of the pain and suffering of so many salt deprived Indians.  This salt tax and its collection gives true meaning to the words "Cash Cow" & "Greed". This is a story you will not forget.
