From the Desk of the Coordinator
I am proud to have been the coordinator of the Souvenir and Exhibition committee for the Twelfth Biennial JAINA convention. The committee worked very hard to solicit articles and best wishes messages for the souvenir book. We received 55 articles from India, Canada, and the United States authored by all groups of people. We would like to thank all of the authors for their hard work and scholarly endeavor. The editorial board carefully read all of the articles and selected 22 articles written in English, Hindi, and Gujararti for inclusion in the souvenir book. It was a very difficult task because all of the articles were worthy of publication. Although we made every effort to verify the accuracy of the statements made in the articles, the opinions expressed in the articles are those of the authors.
There are five articles that deserve special mention because of their content, originality, and style. On behalf of the editorial board, I would like to congratulate the authors of these articles: Dr. Lawrence Babb, Mr. Gabriel Figueroa, Ms. Payal Kapadia, Mr. Amar Salgia, and Dr. Jina Shah.
In closing, I would like to thank my committee members and the members of the editorial board, who spent countless hours preparing this book. Special thanks are due to Dr. Salgia, who helped me a great deal in soliciting articles and setting up the editorial board. Let me also thank to Ms. Shiela Liskany for formatting and editing the manuscripts. Finally, I wish to thank my wife Usha for providing me unflinching support me throughout this process.
