I take this opportunity to thank my son, Siddharth, for providing prompt and efcient research assistance and three anonymous referees for providing detailed comments on the manuscript. They were as helpful as they were constructive. I am grateful to Lisa von Fircks, Senior Commissioning Editor of Palgrave Macmillan Ltd, for handling the publication and production process of this book in an exceedingly efcient manner. I have been in the business of researching, writing and publishing for over three decades now. I found her level of efciency an absolutely rare commodity in the publishing industry. I owe profound thanks to Renee Takken for the care and attention she poured into editing this book. Joel Jones is another person who deserves my grateful thanks. Hlne Ct provided rst-rate assistance in research; her humor was as supportive as her library research endeavors. To nurture excellence in any area of human endeavor, credit should be given where it is deserved. One neither needs a sword nor a gun to kill excellence in any society. Ignore and it will wilt away. Indubitably, the largest debt I owe is to my wife, Vasanti, for managing the life around me and leaving me to do the researching and writing. Dawn-to-dusk days of non-stop working would not have been feasible without her indefatigable support. She also meticulously read the rst drafts and ruthlessly hunted down faulty syntax and mixed metaphors.
