• Pushpa Bhave,  well-known Civil Rights Activist and Intellectual of Marathi Public Sphere – “these materials  serve to enrich the debates in Marathi and  take debates in Marathi to the English  Academia”

• Anjan Ghosh , CSSS, Kolkatta – “collection of Memories and Histories of Dalit Food an innovative and meaningful project”

• Vaishali Diwakar , Lecturer, St Mira’s College, Pune – “Materials develop conceptual language for doing gender studies in Marathi and this helps to move issues from descriptive to analytical levels. More activity and exercises would be welcome”

• Shefali Chandra, Assistant Professor, Department of History, Washington University at St. Louis - “I was instantly drawn into 'plundering popular culture' . . . amazed at the organic, grounded re-working of cultural studies methodologies so lovingly show cased by your students. And 'Isn't this plate Indian' is simply fantastic. And Building Bridges, again, it shall be a very helpful teaching tool for me - US students have ‘no’ idea what a gulf separates them from other undergraduates around the world. Yet, they are always eager to 'do' something, to help out. This is a very practical and timely guide for us all.”
