I express my sincere thanks to my wife Uma, granddaughter Sanjali in Singapore and daughter Anita in Switzerland to go through the manuscripts and provide valuable suggestions /edits from a reader's perspective. I also thank Mr. Sushil Jana of ISJS for his untiring help in word processing and secretarial assistance.
I also express my sincere thanks to two eminent foreign scholars whose works I have cited severally, namely Prof. Stephen N Hay of Centre for South and Southeast Asia Studies at University of California USA, and Prof. J.T.F Jordens. Their works have been of great help in delving deeper in research as well as in substantiating some of my findings.
As the author of this book, I take full responsibility for errors, omissions of references or acknowledgement which were unintentional. I have tried to express my gratitude and acknowledged the reference to the works of other scholars I have utilised. Still there is likelihood that I may have inadvertently missed in acknowledging some works. I seek forgiveness from them. Please let me know of any lapses in this regard. I invite comments from the readers and experts so that same can be analysed and used for updating the next edition of the book.
